Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders Signs Law to Teach Kids Fetal Development
Life News ^ | April 25, 2025 | Jerry Cox

Posted on 04/26/2025 7:37:56 PM PDT by Morgana

On Monday Governor Sanders signed a good law to help teach public school students about unborn children.

S.B. 450 by Sen. Breanne Davis (R — Russellville) and Rep. Kendra Moore (R — Lincoln) lets public school students see a recording of a high-definition ultrasound video as part of human fetal growth and development education courses.

The law also makes it possible for students to learn important facts about how unborn children develop in the womb.

Similar legislation has passed in North Dakota, Tennessee, Idaho, and Kansas.

With the governor’s signature, S.B. 450 is now Act 915 of 2025. Act 915 received overwhelming support in the Arkansas Senate and House of Representatives, and we want to recognize the legislature for supporting this good law and Governor Sanders for signing it on Monday.

Very few medical advancements have done more to change hearts and minds on abortion than ultrasound technology. In fact, research has shown that some women are less likely to have an abortion if they see an ultrasound image of their unborn child. Act 915 will help students understand that unborn children are human beings.

Undetermined. The bill says: "The Department of Education, in consultation with the Department of Health, shall determine the appropriate grade levels for receipt of the human fetal growth and development discussion required under subdivision (b)(1)(A) of this section."

“At what age?”
After self-awareness. It's good kids learn science as early as they can. That's true for language and math, too. Being too knowledgeable isn't a problem.

When I was a kid my parents bought LIFE magazine and I read its photo essay of the development of a human baby in the womb.

Its a shame it takes a law to do this.

Most of us were taught this as “best practice” for teaching science, health and biology.
Admittedly, the 60’s were a long time ago, but dang...the science is settled.
Now, thanks to legislation, the next gen might actually learn from whence they come.

How do you define self-awareness. Too young only brings curiosity and problems. A little knowledge is dangerous.
