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."
Two comments: First who would be desperate enough to initiate such an occurrence and Second how could anyone tell?
I notice the creed: “trust the science” does not apply to the murder of the unborn.
“Pay no attention to the moving limbs of the fetus nor to the clearly beating heart displayed in real time on the screen of the ultrasound machine. Those are just technical tricks of barbaric and controlling men intended to deceive you.”
If these baby killers hate men so much, why do they keep having sex with them?
“Pay no attention to the silent screams of the fetus as it head is being torn from its body.....................
Maybe Ms. Abrams needs to go tell her own mother she needs to be aborted now. She could justify it as a late term abortion.
First, a fetus DOES have a heartbeat by that time. I experienced it. Doesn’t matter what “stage” it’s in, it exists!
Second, how do men have full control?
Leftists want to believe men have all the control and all want to keep babies, while many conservatives wish to believe women all want to kill babies and the men likewise want to keep them but don’t have enough control.
The reality is somewhere between. Women have ultimate say over what they do with their bodies but men can have a huge amount of pressure to exert, and it isn’t all about keeping their baby.
Stacy Abrahms, Georgia governor and world renowned biologist?
Cardiac activity that makes a beating sound but isn’t a heart?
They will literally say anything.
Who you gonna believe?
Stacey or your lying ears????.................
Look at her and listen to her—none.
Girl has tremendous power. Somehow she can get people to leap when she clears her throat.
if you assume the woman was not a willing participation
the man controls his actions and the woman controls her actions
Splitting hairs (hearts).
This is BULLSHIRT!
When does a heart become a heart is like when does a child become a child?
At BIRTH or CONCEPTION?
It’s a “gray” area. NOT!
Just make abortion a capital CRIME.
Abortionist would quit or be in prison for life or preferably dead.
Women caught, would never do it again.
Make addadicktomes and other “sex change” operations capital CRIMES as well.
Bring back the gallows and firing squads. OR hang them AND then shoot them.
“It’s the only way to be sure”.
Who’s denying science now? The insane left!
They same one’s who “believe” they can control the environment..via heavy taxes and/or restrictions
Of course, the ones advocating heavy taxes and/or restrictions are exempt.
That organization should be shuttered.
In the last days before the Tribulation Period, we should expect an explosion of lies.
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.
My guess would be ZERO, even if some depraved male would want to hump a GHETTOPOTOMUS he wouldn’t be able to find the correct orifice in all the fat folds!
