On Thursday the Arkansas House of Representatives overwhelmingly passes the “Baby Olivia Act” to ensure public school students receive appropriate education about unborn children.
This good bill by Rep. Mary Bentley (R — Perryville) and Sen. Clint Penzo (R — Springdale) ensures public schools show students a recording of a high-definition ultrasound video that is at least three minutes long as part of sex-education and human growth and development education courses.
Schools also must show Live Action’s computer-animated “Meet Baby Olivia” video that teaches about human development from conception to birth.
H.B. 1180 now goes to the Arkansas Senate for consideration.
