Pro-abortion politician Stacey Abrams is making headlines, this time for her claims about preborn children’s heartbeats. As Roe v. Wade<\/em> has fallen, many states have implemented laws protecting preborn children from abortion after a heartbeat can be detected \u2014 but according to Abrams, there is no such thing as a prenatal heartbeat at six weeks; instead, it is something pro-life activists made up to control women. Abrams’ claims later seemed to be supported on social media by Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler.<\/p>\n

The clip, seen on Twitter, shows Abrams sitting on an auditorium stage, speaking with a panel of others. Though the context of the 12-second clip was not made clear, what is<\/em> clear are Abrams’ claims. “There is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks,” she said. “It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman’s body.”<\/p>\n
