States Consider Legislation to Mandate 'Baby Olivia' Video in Schools

The controversial video, criticized for inaccuracies, is part of a broader push to influence education on fetal development.

The 'Baby Olivia' video, produced by anti-abortion group Live Action, is at the center of legislation in several states aiming to make it required viewing in schools.
Critics argue the video provides misleading information about fetal development, with medical experts noting inaccuracies in its depiction.
Tennessee's Senate has passed the 'Baby Olivia Act,' requiring the video to be shown in public schools, with the bill now awaiting the governor's signature.
The legislation has sparked debate over the role of education in presenting medically accurate information versus ideological perspectives.
Similar bills are being considered in other states, including Iowa, Kentucky, and Missouri, following North Dakota's adoption of the law last year.
