Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams denied science recently when she claimed an unborn baby’s heartbeat is a “manufactured sound” created to control women.
The Post Millennial reports Abrams made the bizarre and factually incorrect claim in a video exposed Wednesday by the Republican National Committee. The video shows Abrams, a pro-abortion Democrat, on stage at a public event with other speakers.
“There is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks,” Abrams said in the video . “It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman’s body.”
A favorite of the left, Abrams is running against pro-life Republican Gov. Brian Kemp this fall. If elected, the Democrat candidate said one of her top priorities will be to repeal the state heartbeat law, which bans abortions once an unborn baby’s heartbeat is detectable . /wp-content/uploads/2022/09/staceyabramsheartbeat.mp4 Responding to the video Wednesday, Stephen Miller, a contributing editor at The Spectator, criticized Abrams for pushing such a ridiculous conspiracy theory. He said the notion that a “cabal of men” designed ultrasound machines on purpose to trick women into keeping their unwanted babies is “beyond QAnon s—.”
The science is well established that the heart is the first organ to develop in a human being, and an unborn baby’s heart begins to beat within the first few weeks after conception.
Secular Pro-Life recently compiled a list of quotes from textbooks, scientific journals and other expert sources that confirm an unborn baby’s heart begins to beat as early as 22 days gestation.
For example, a pregnancy outline on the Mayo Clinic website states “the heart and other organs also are starting to form and the heart begins to beat” at about four weeks after conception.
And a study several years ago by the University of Oxford and the British […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
