The impact of Baby Olivia
Live Action’s video, published in 2021, illustrates the fetal development of “Baby Olivia”. This video has inspired multiple states to require instruction on fetal development in public schools. Six states have enacted laws, and 18 more have introduced similar legislation.(1) The purpose is of course to show students the truth about how life begins and develops inside the womb. The requirement seems to be quite appropriate when such knowledge is important to make an informed decision regarding abortion. Abortion is a life-changing surgery initiated by individuals for social reasons, rather than by doctors for medical reasons. Abortion supporters claim that the video is inaccurate, with all the doctors cited affiliated with the pro-life movement, and that children’s emotions are being manipulated by one side of a political issue. One Democratic Representative in Iowas is quoted: “The question of when life begins is deeply personal. It varies among individuals..

The video accurately illustrates basic fetal development as it has been scientifically known to occur for decades.

Preparing them to recognize and reject pornography should begin sooner rather than later. Once they begin to access porn, it can become an addiction.
