Planned Parenthood has been lying to women about fetal development for decades. But Live Action has been helping to expose those lies, with undercover work like its\u00a0Medical Misinformation<\/a> investigation in 2009, and with the groundbreaking 2021 “Baby Olivia” video<\/a>. Science is clear that life begins at fertilization, not at birth.<\/p>\n

Development at six weeks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Live Action went undercover at Planned Parenthood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on September 9, 2009. The undercover pro-life journalist was told by Planned Parenthood<\/a> that she was between six and eight weeks pregnant with “fetal matter.” Planned Parenthood told her:<\/p>\n

There’s not a baby at this point. You wouldn’t be able to identify any parts of the fetus whatsover. […] at this point there’s nothing developed at all. There’s no legs, no heart. At this point it’s just the embryo itself.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But “Baby Olivia,” the world’s most realistic and medically accurate computer-generated 3D animated representation of a child developing in her mother’s womb, shows the truth about prenatal development that Planned Parenthood tries to hide.<\/p>\n

At six to eight weeks after fertilization, a preborn child has recordable brain waves, a beating heart, arms, legs, fingers, and toes. She can bring her hands together and can hiccup by seven and a half weeks. She is not “fetal matter.” She is a human being, who has been rapidly developing for weeks, even if her mother didn’t yet know she existed.<\/p>\n
