Georgia Democrat running for Governor this year, Stacey Abrams, ignorantly claimed that a baby’s heartbeat at 6 weeks is a ‘manufactured sound’ produced so that men can steal rights away from women. Obviously REAL doctors have come forward to correct Abrams but the left is running with the notion that there is no heartbeat at 6 weeks.
Doctors like, Dr. Tara Sanders Lee, who studied heart development at Harvard Medical School and currently serves as the Director of Life Sciences at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, was astonished by Abrams’ anti-science claims.“Stacey Abrams is completely ignoring scientific fact,” Lee began.
Lee then provided legitimate scientific findings that squashed Abrams’ lies, first explaining that “the heart is the first functioning organ in a developing human being” and that it begins beating “just 22-days after fertilization.”
After destroying Abrams’ basic claim, Lee then commented on the motive behind the leftist media covering for Abrams, saying:
“This is the playbook that they use. The media can perform these olympic level semantic gymnastics all they want but most Americans instinctively understand that a developing human organ which beats rhythmically and pumps blood through the body is in fact a heart. And I think they do this because if they can convince themselves and others that there’s actually not a living human being with a beating heart, its the only way that they can justify their support for advocating for the right to kill a baby.”
Lee added that that same media is painting Senator Lindsey Graham’s 15-week abortion bill as “extreme,” despite the fact that “47 out of 50 European nations limit elective abortion after 15-weeks,” making Graham’s bill far from “extreme.”
It should go without saying that the sound you hear at your child’s 6-week appointment is NOT manufactured by men but emitting from the growing life within. It’s almost insane to me that we have made it this far into the future only to argue about biological genders and if a beating heart makes sounds.
