(LifeSiteNews) — On Tuesday, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed the ‘Baby Olivia Act’ into law, requiring public schools to show school children a “high-quality, computer-generated animation or high-definition ultrasound” of unborn babies developing in the womb.

The law cites Live Action’s computer-animated “Baby Olivia” video depicting fertilization and fetal development from conception as an example of an animation that would meet the law’s requirements, which include the depiction of “the development of the brain, heart, and other vital organs in early fetal development.”

Family life curriculum is required by Tennessee law in all counties where the teen birth rate exceeds 19.5 per 1,000 females between the ages of 15 and 19, which amount to 78 of the state’s 95 counties, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The Baby Olivia video, shared to X by Live Action founder and president Lila Rose, starts by depicting the moment of fertilization, explaining that “This is the moment that life begins,” and that once fertilization occurs, a baby’s “gender, ethnicity, hair color, eye color and countless traits are already determined.”

“This cutesy shiny pink video is offensively childish. It diminishes the complexity of reproductive health. It’s insulting to women and it’s insulting to the medical profession,” Sen. Heidi Campbell, D-Nashville, told The Tennessean. “Pregnancy is a medical condition, and it’s a serious one. To turn women’s personal health challenges into propaganda videos to indoctrinate children is offensive.”

We were taught the science of fetal development in school around 7th or 8th grade. Of course that was in the 70s before society went crazy.

The left really really really hates babies.

Pure biology....XX and XY comes should be included.

"To turn women’s personal health challenges into propaganda videos to indoctrinate children is offensive.”

Lightning should have struck him for saying that.

[who knows what evil?]

Her...lightning should have struck her.

[Ciaphas Cain]

At this point does gender even matter to them?

“It diminishes the complexity of reproductive health.”

So she wants a longer, more detailed documentary shown? It depends on the age group.

Lemme guess, this Democrat, like most Democrats, likes to kill live fetuses.

“The left really really really hates babies.”

So do demons. The film only shows how a fetus develops. Why would anyone get mad about a basic biology lesson?

Good move.

Just say that later in life this baby may choose TRANSGENDER as it's identity and Democrats want to destroy this precious person.

[JBW1949]

Showing that an unborn baby is just that and not an apple, donkey, or a pine cone is a great way to show that abortion is really murdering a real, live human being....

That’s because Hedonistic Heidi is a selfish unholy sex crazed monster.
