Iowa lawmakers are proposing to include the “Meet Baby Olivia” video in public school curricula. Produced by an anti-abortion group, this video has been criticized for presenting misleading and medically inaccurate information about fetal development.For example, it claims a heartbeat can be detected just 22 days after fertilization, but medical consensus shows cardiac activity is typically detectable around six weeks. The video’s portrayal of fetal development stages is inconsistent with established science, raising serious concerns about its use in education. Students deserve accurate, evidence-based materials to understand human growth and development. Let’s ensure education is rooted in facts, not propaganda.
