Planned Parenthood changes website after Stacey Abrams's heartbeat comments

Planned Parenthood has quietly changed its website to match comments Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams made Thursday about fetal heartbeats.

Abrams said Thursday that "there is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks," adding, "It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body."

Planned Parenthood changed its website without any acknowledgment of modifications to say that under the five- to six-week mark of pregnancy, "a part of the embryo starts to show cardiac activity. It sounds like a heartbeat on an ultrasound, but it's not a fully-formed heart — it's the earliest stage of the heart developing." The same webpage previously said that "a very basic beating heart and circulatory system develop," per an archive of the page from July.

The National Library of Medicine, under the National Institutes of Health, says that at week five of pregnancy, "your baby's brain, spinal cord, and heart begin to develop," and at weeks six to seven, the "baby's heart continues to grow and now beats at a regular rhythm."

Abrams made the remark on fetal heartbeats while discussing Georgia's "heartbeat law," which bans most abortions once cardiac activity is detected, which occurs around six weeks.

Abrams is attempting to unseat Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in a rematch of the 2018 gubernatorial race. Real Clear Politics has rated the race as "leans Republican."

Yeah a 10 point lead is “leans Republican”.

"Abrams said Thursday that "there is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks," adding, "It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body.""

And to think this individual almost became governor of Georgia (and may still be given very little to address election fraud in that state), much less being considered presidential material.

She should be popping out of a wall clock on the hour saying "cuckoo".

These vile, lying, liberal filth provide nothing of value to society and civilization; their perverted worldview requires describing an alternate reality, whereby they can take control of the mindless, in order to ensure their dystopian nightmare becomes reality.

Two words Stacey Abrams should learn to say: “I’m full.”

Abrams and Planned Parenthood leaders, employees and supporters are all headed to hell, a real destination for those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. “Come, Lord Jesus!” - Revelation 22:20.

As predicted. They’ll change facts and science to cover up for their idiocy.

These are corrupt and evil totalitarians. They have no place in a free society and must be expunged.

Stacy, Hillary, Cuomo are speaking to a particular audience. What they say makes no sense to a wider audience but the conservatives or logical thinkers are not the audience.

She is a certified nut case, but don’t count her out of the Georgia governor’s race. The fraud is strong here in Georgia, sad to say.

I’d sooner see her barely breaking the surface to open her mouth so visitors could toss heads of lettuce in.

If I thought she’d ever eaten a vegetable.
