WATCH: Stacy Abrams Claims that Fetus Heartbeats are a Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy

GEORGIA (Yaakov M / VINnews) — Woke Stacey Abrams, who claimed an election was stolen long before Trump ever made such assertions, has said something absolutely insane.

Speaking this week at a panel discussion, Abrams said, “There is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks. It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman’s body.”

Taken literally, Abrams is claiming that ultrasound machines, relied upon by millions of doctors, are intended to deceive patients and are prejudiced against women.

Yet somehow the same media which has a meltdown every time Trump makes fun of windmills, and labels Republicans “science deniers”, has no problem with Abrams’ complete ignorance of science.

Former Trump adviser Stephen Miller replied on Twitter: “Apparently, Abrams thinks there is a vast OBGYN conspiracy where moms and dads have been going to doctors offices for decades to listen to their baby’s heartbeat when, in fact, it was apparently a prerecorded audio file.”

As the Washington Examiner put it: “No sane person believes that General Electric and Siemens designed ultrasound machines to subjugate women.”

Although her ridiculous claims need no refutation, let’s do it anyway. The assertion that a “fetal heartbeat” is a manipulative trick designed by men to oppress women has been debunked many times.

The op-ed in the Examiner pointed out that many medical journals refer to a fetal heartbeat even at six weeks. A 2011 article in the Journal of Prenatal Medicine said: “At the end of the fourth week of gestation, the heartbeats of the embryo begin.”

The fact that unborn babies have hearts at six weeks is not refuted by anyone other than Abrams. The above-referenced article in the Journal of Prenatal Medicine says that the heart’s “development starts at the third week of gestation.”

And a story in The Atlantic in 2017, which apparently tried to claim something similar to what Abrams said, was forced to issue a major retraction. It said, “This article originally stated that there is ‘no heart to speak of’ in a six-week-old fetus. In fact, the heart has already begun to form by that point in a pregnancy.”

The media may eventually catch up with the science. After all, they eventually figured out that cloth masks don’t work, and that the Hunter Biden laptop is genuine. They’re just a bit slower than the rest of us.

Politics can redefine gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, and we’ve already seen the wonders politics can work with science. Fetal heartbeats, meh.

How can she define fetal heartbeats when her judicial compadre couldn’t define gender?

She can refute all she wants,, I saw it, and heard it with my own eyes, and my own ears,,, I watched that little thing “blink” on the screen at 7 weeks.. maybe she and her kids dont have hearts, but me,, I saw it, and I know it! אין דומה שמיעה לראיה ץ I would say she needs her head examined, but that would mean that I believe she has a head,,, A shtik fleish mit tzvei fees!

So I guess my wife’s female OB is conspiring in favor of men dominating women. How dumb can the media get, that they give people like Stacey Abrams any credence. If she should be heard, then Trump’s comment about drinking bleach should have been accepted by the media as legitimate S well.

well, when we had a miscarriage from our first pregnancy, the doctor was adamant that the baby was not viable, merely due to the lack of a presence of a heartbeat.

She wanted an immediate DNC, look it up.

And when we posited that maybe they were off by two weeks, as they always are, and as confirmed with the famous Dr Herman, because they calculate from the last period, not from mikva/closer to actual conception, mikva being more accurate, I said maybe we should wait before sucking the baby out, rather than cause a potential abortion.

she screamed at us, a couple who just had a miscarriage, that she wanted to talk to our rav, and that I was the most chutzpadik person she ever met, how dare I accuse her of maybe causing an abortion.

this, again, was all determined due to a lack of heartbeat.

so, hold on, let me do the math, although some liberalism nonsense is getting in the way……in the form of a bat something crazy witch from the 5 towns….

oh yea.

Babies have heartbeats at 5.5 weeks

But according to experts, the term “fetal heartbeat” is misleading and medically inaccurate.
“While the heart does begin to develop at around six weeks, at this point the heart as we know it does not yet exist,” said Dr. Ian Fraser Golding, a pediatric and fetal cardiologist at Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego. 
Instead, at six weeks, the embryo will develop a tube that generates sporadic electrical impulses that eventually coordinate into rhythmic pulses, he said. (Six weeks of pregnancy is closer to four weeks of actual development, because pregnancy is measured from the first day of a woman’s last period, before she is actually pregnant.)

bs”d Her ignorance is terrifying. I wonder how many other officials have such a level of ignorance. Combined with ill-will for fetuses it is very scary. It echoes the tragic ideas being spread in public schools that have chosen to comply with or are forced to comply with CRT.

Is she a biologist who can make such a claim? I don’t think someone who is not a biologist is qualified to speak on these matters of biological science!

Abortion policies are racist. More than 20 million Black babies have been aborted since the 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision legalized abortion in our country. 79% of Planned Parenthood abortion facilities are located within walking distance of neighborhoods that have proportionately higher populations of black or Latina women and minority communities. The abortion industry targets women of color, selling them the illusion that they must choose between career advancement and the lives of their babies. 38.4% of all reported abortions in the U.S. in 2019 were performed on Black women, however, only about 13.4% of the total population is Black. For every 1,000 live births, non-Hispanic Black women had 386 abortions. Non-Hispanic White women had 117 abortions per 1,000 live births. nearly 40% of all abortions in America since Roe vs. Wade have been from Black Americans, this equates to more than 20 million Black pregnancies aborted. Abortion policies culls the birth rates of the under privileged and minority communities the most. Abortion policies are racist.

When someone is called brain dead, the heart continues to beat while the ventilator delivers oxygen to the lungs. At the end of week 5 and into week 6 , the first electrical brain activity begin to occur. So a person is called dead if their heart is still beating but there’s no brain activity and is not consdered alive, if the heart hasn’t started beating and the brain is sending impulses.

ironic she reps Georgia since on a GEORGIA individual income tax return filed for Tax Year 2022 where, at any time on or after July 20, 2022, and through December 31, 2022, a taxpayer has an unborn child (or children) with a detectable human heartbeat (which may occur as early as six weeks’ gestation), the taxpayer may claim a dependent personal exemption as provided for under O.C.G.A § 48-7-26(a) and (b)(3) in the amount of $3,000 for each unborn child.

I’m my sure why my comment gets criticized . I stated a scientific fact , and it doesn’t therefore mean that abortion is OK .

Seriously dumb, stupid, ignorant article.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists calls this fluttering of cells cardiac activity, not a heartbeat at 6 weeks.

So there is no conspiracy because supposedly the people you claim are making this conspiracy don’t call it a heartbeat at 6 weeks.

Seriously stupid.

In actuality, there is no heart or blood circulation at 6 weeks. The sound on the doppler machine is electrical impulses in the chest area, which will eventually become the heartbeat.
