Lawmakers in the Idaho Senate passed a bill Thursday that will require Idaho to “provide for human growth and development instruction in public schools.” Educators could use Live Action’s “Baby Olivia” video to fulfill such requirements.<\/p>\n

SB 1046<\/a> requires students in grades five through 12 be shown a high-definition ultrasound video which shows the development on the brain, heart, and organs in fetal development, as well as a “high-quality, computer generated rendering or animation showing the process of fertilization and every stage of human development inside the uterus, noting significant markers in cell growth and organ development for every week of pregnancy until birth.”<\/p>\n

“This bill introduces a structured and scientifically accurate curriculum to teach students about human biology, fetal development, and the process of pregnancy,\u201d explained<\/a> its sponsor, Senator Tammy Nichols.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe program will be integrated in human biology or where discussions of contraceptive or sexually transmitted diseases are done, providing a comprehensive education on reproductive health,\u201d Nichols said.<\/p>\n
