Teen Vogue is sounding the alarm over a growing number of states requiring students to view fetal development videos like “Meet Baby Olivia” in sex education classes — calling the pro-life material “manipulative” and accusing its creators of advancing a political agenda.
The animated video, produced by Live Action, shows a child developing in the womb from the moment of conception. It has already been adopted in six states as part of newly passed fetal development education laws.
According to Live Action, the goal is to educate students on the science of life in the womb and foster “a reverence for life as children at impressionable ages develop their world view.”
But Teen Vogue views this growing educational trend as a threat. In an article published Aug. 5, the magazine highlighting critics who accused Meet Baby Olivia of emotional manipulation.
Therapist Stephanie Vazzano, quoted in the article, said the video is “set up to come from a moralistic and fear-based place as opposed to a medical or wellness model.”
While acknowledging that “they do have some facts,” she added, “when you watch them you can be really seduced by those facts … but then these other things get slipped in.”
The piece quotes abortion industry-aligned experts who claim the video uses “non-scientific language” and evokes an “emotional response” that could influence students’ views on abortion.
Teen Vogue‘s report targeted lawmakers like Tennessee Rep. Gino Bulso, who helped pass one of the first laws requiring students to view Baby Olivia or a fetal ultrasound during sex ed.
Since then, more than 20 states have introduced similar legislation, and roughly four million students will now view fetal development videos during the school year.
The video’s content, highlighting the humanity of the child in the womb and showing her movement, growth, and early development, has proven effective. Live Action reports a “37-point shift toward the pro-life perspective among viewers.”
Noah Brandt, Live Action’s vice president of communications, sees that as confirmation the message resonates.
“It is intuitive that, after watching that, people would be less likely to support abortion on demand,” he said.
Teen Vogue and its quoted critics accuse pro-life groups of using emotion to “indoctrinate” students.
“I don’t know how you indoctrinate somebody with the truth of the development of life … or the truth that these are the types of procedures of abortions,” said New Hampshire Rep. John Sellers, a Republican, who introduced legislation to require Live Action’s videos in schools, according to Teen Vogue. “I can’t see that being indoctrination.”

Teen Vogue=Beelzebub’s Fashion Magazine.
How is referring to a fetus as a ‘clump of cells’ any less manipulative?
They repeat that phrase ad nauseum until they actually believe it despite the glaring evidence to the contrary. That's why they hate Trump about as much as they hated Lincoln.
So, biological science is “manipulative.” Trust the science.
If I recall correctly, Teen Vogue has run articles describing how their readers should accommodate their boyfriends with certain sex acts.
One might think this magazine is just giving teenage girls fashion and beauty advice. What accommodating a boyfriend has to do with beauty and fashion escapes me......
Baby killing is in fashion.
Seriously? Teen Vogue magazine was a Conde Nasty failure and stopped publishing about decade ago. It was filled with weird lefty tirades, “green” issues, “young Hollyweird” issues and the last issue cover featured the Hildabeast.
The fact that they’re still trying to pose as a “magazine” is just sad.
The parallels to the Democrat defense of slavery are many and frightening.
Who could do that.
Rhetorical question of course because we know.
Yep
✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏🛐🛐🛐
If people could actually see real abortions they would be banned.
Oh yes. Unless they repent, all those who have been complicit in such evil, will face eternity in the Lake of Fire.
God, please make them turn to Thee and Thy love and forgiveness, so that they will refrain forever from such soul destroying acts. Amen✝️🙏🏻
