Arkansas will soon ensure its public-school students learn about prenatal baby development.
The state House passed legislation this week to direct the state’s Department of Education to require a discussion about fetal development in its state education standards. The bill, already passed by the Senate, was delivered on Wednesday to pro-life Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who is expected to sign it.
The measure will require schools to show children a “high-definition ultrasound” of an unborn baby. It will also require schools to teach the “process of fertilization and every stage of human development inside the uterus.”
The Arkansas Family Council (AFC) praised the proposal, saying it will teach young people the value of unborn life.
