FWIW, Heartline and Medical News Today disagree with your classification.

“The developing heart is made up of two tubes that have fused in the middle, creating a trunk with four tubes branching off.
The heart begins to beat, and it may be possible to detect it” w US.

This attempt to protect Stacey Abrams is expected from Democratic activists, just not from the WaPo fact-checking chief.
Though I suppose there’s an argument to be made that they are one in the same.
A fetal heartbeat is not a “misnomer”. It is beating, it’s just not developed.

It is the logic Kessler employs to bail out Abrams that is used to justify abortion even up to the final month.
If we don’t recognize babies with organs and appendages that aren’t fully developed into what we recognize in ourselves, then we can justify ending their lives.

As Laura pointed out, where exactly does it end using that logic?
Fully developed babies aren’t fully developed humans. So, as Ralph Northam once openly stated in a radio interview, should they also be subject to the decision a woman makes with her doctor after birth?

It simply does not pass any test of logic to think of a heart beat in terms of the number of developed valves.
It’s rather silly if you think about it.
Even after birth the four valves and the entire heart are still developing, a reason why murmurs often clear up on their own.

Thread Update: Evita Duffy gets it. The logic @GlennKesslerWP employs to defend @staceyabrams is flawed and not scientifically sound.
It does, however, exemplify the worldview used to justify even beyond the unfettered abortion position because hearts develop well after birth.
