On Monday the Senate Education Committee passed a good bill to help educate public school students about unborn children.

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

The bill also contains provisions letting students learn important facts about how unborn children develop in the womb.

Ultrasound images and similar educational resources can help show students that unborn children are human beings.

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.

S.B. 450 is a good bill, and it now goes to the entire Arkansas Senate for consideration.
