A new bill filed at the Arkansas Legislature would ensure public school students see high-definition video of ultrasound images and a popular pro-life video concerning fetal development.
Ultrasound images help clearly demonstrate that unborn children are living human beings. Research indicates that some women are less likely to have an abortion if they see an ultrasound image of their unborn child. Very few medical advancements have done more to change hearts and minds on abortion than ultrasound technology.
H.B. 1180 by Rep. Mary Bentley (R — Perryville) and Sen. Clint Penzo (R — Springdale) ensures public schools show students a high-definition ultrasound video that is at least three minutes long as part of sex-education and human growth and development education.
The bill also ensures students see Live Action’s computer-animated “Meet Baby Olivia” video that teaches about human development from conception to birth.
