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."

And to think this individual almost became governor of Georgia

Very similar to the bullet Florida dodged when they chose DeSantis over Gillum /spit

They’re probably still trying to figure out what time they want the surge of votes or votes to swap and all for the Democrat to happen.

Manufactured by who, exactly?

This kind of nutfuckery needs to be called out. Name names, Abrams you pig or this is just another whackjob conspiracy theory of yours.

The old “man taking control of a women’s body” argument.
If a man impregnates a women..didn’t he already have temporary control of her body?

Every position the Left takes is built on euphemism.
There is no exception.
Without euphemism the modern Left could not exist.

In 2020, the Merriam-Webster dictionary quietly changed a definition to cover for Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) during questioning of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.

I think everyone gets the idea of pre-natal development. Organs and systems go from being undeveloped to developed. That’s a process every single one of us went through so we could live, and continue to develop, after we are born. At one point, Stacey Abrams and the PP website writer did not have fully-developed hearts, but here they are today, walking around among us. If Stacey Abrams’ mother had decided to wipe out the fetus who didn’t yet have a fully-developed heart, she wouldn’t have just rid herself of a clump of cells, she would have rid herself of Stacey. Does Stacey get that, or does she not value her own life enough that she is willing to subordinate it to her mother’s “choice”?

Stacy is currently carrying quintuplets, in an elongated gestation period.

She’s probably just passing her 40th trimester. At least.

Each “woosh” does correspond to a heartbeat. The “wooshing” sound is the motion of the contracting heart. The ultrasound machine measures the change in frequency of the returning echoes and can determine the motion of the various portions of the heart. The “woosh” sound is generated as the ultrasound machine converts the calculated motion into an audible sound through the computer speakers.
