At least six states (Iowa, Indiana, Idaho, Tennessee, North Dakota, and Kansas) have enacted legislation requiring schools to teach prenatal development. The laws generally require students to view ultrasounds or other videos illustrating fetal development throughout the stages of pregnancy. Some states, like Tennessee, have mandated that students watch “Baby Olivia,” a fetal development video produced by Live Action. Live Action says its mission is “building a culture of life and advancing human rights.”
Should states require such instruction?
