One day after Kansas Democratic Governor Laura Kelly vetoed two bills, the state’s Republican lawmakers overrode her actions. The bills, which mandate the addition of prenatal development education in the state’s schools as well as child support for pregnant women, will soon take effect.<\/p>\n

House Bill 2382<\/a> requires students in the state’s public schools to view a “presentation of a high-quality, computer-generated animation or high definition ultrasound of at least three minutes in duration that shows the development of the brain, heart and other vital organs in early human fetal development.” The video would be required in any class that discusses human growth, development or sexuality, like sex education and biology classes.<\/p>\n

Though the bill does not specifically include Live Action’s “Baby Olivia” video, the content does fit the bill’s requirements and is an option that may be used in classrooms. It offers a realistic, digital animation to depict medically-accurate information about the preborn child\u2019s life in the womb, capturing significant growth and development milestones from the moment of fertilization through birth.<\/p>\n
