It takes years of propaganda to convince women that they need to intentionally kill their preborn children in order to be equal members of society. It takes even more<\/em> lies to convince them their babies aren’t even human beings, don’t have heartbeats, and are not alive. As science advances and exposes the truth about human development, life in the womb, and what an abortion does to an innocent living human, even pro-abortion medical<\/em> groups will not hesitate to deny the science.<\/p>\n

Recently, the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound<\/a> met to discuss a “first-trimester US lexicon” that it claimed would be “based on scientific evidence, societal guidelines, and expert consensus.” With 80% consensus, the group changed its “preferred terms, synonyms, and terms to avoid.” Included in that change are the switches from “heartbeat” to “cardiac activity” and using the terms “live,” “living,” and “viable” to describe a living embryo.<\/p>\n

It’s clearly heavy on the ‘societal guidelines’ and light on the ‘scientific evidence’ behind the changes.<\/p>\n

It’s not a ‘heartbeat<\/em>,’ but it’s measured in ‘beats<\/em> per minute’<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Embryonic or fetal rhythmic pulsations observed in the first trimester should be reported as cardiac activity<\/strong><\/em>, or alternatively as cardiac motion<\/em>,” wrote the organization. “Historically, the terms \u2018heart motion,\u2019 \u2018heart activity,\u2019 and \u2018heartbeat\u2019 have been used. However, the term \u2018heart\u2019 implies a fully formed organ, and cardiac development is gradual and incomplete during the [gestational ages] discussed in this document (17<\/a>,38<\/a>). Cardiac<\/i>\u00a0is a scientifically accurate adjective and is endorsed by ACOG (6<\/a>).” It then added ironically, “The rate of cardiac activity…should be reported as beats per minute<\/i><\/b>.”<\/p>\n
