↓Restricts abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Requires specific pro-life videos and animations on fetal development to be included in health and family life education curricula when covering pregnancy or human development, so less neutral presentation of abortion-related topics in schools.
An oral, written, or digital lesson, lecture, or presentation about human biology relating to pregnancy and human development inside the uterus, including: a. 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 b. A high-quality, computer-generated rendering or animation showing the process of fertilization and every stage of human development inside the uterus, noting significant markers in cell growth and organ development for each significant marker ofpregnancy
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends education statutes to mandate inclusion of detailed ultrasound videos and computer-generated animations depicting fertilization and every stage of fetal development in health and family life curricula when pregnancy or human development is discussed. This is a substantive change to abortion-related education policy by requiring specific materials that emphasize fetal personhood and development, with no counterbalancing provisions. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
