Requires specific ultrasound videos and animations depicting fetal development to be included in health and family life education curricula when covering pregnancy or human development inside the uterus, so less neutral presentation of abortion-related topics in schools.
Each school board shall include, as a part of health instruction offered pursuant to subsection A, an oral, written, or digital lesson, lecture, or presentation about human biology relating to pregnancy and human development inside the uterus, including: 1. A high-definition ultrasound video, at least three minutes in duration, showing the development of the brain, heart, sex organs, and other vital organs in early fetal development; and 2. A high-quality, computer-generated rendering or animation showing the process of fertilization and every stage of human development inside the uterus,
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends education statutes to mandate inclusion of detailed, high-definition ultrasound videos and computer-generated animations of fertilization and every stage of fetal development inside the uterus (with markers of pregnancy until birth) in both health instruction and family life education curricula whenever pregnancy or human development is covered. This is a substantive change to abortion-related education policy by requiring specific pro-fetal-development materials in schools, with no counterbalancing provisions.
