THREAD: The @NPR abortion audio is heartbreaking. That child's heart had already beat over 9 million times but now will be heard no more. 1/

➡ By 11 weeks (the age of the baby aborted in the @NPR broadcast), the baby had a heart rate of 168 BPM
➡ Prior to being aborted, the baby's heart had already beat over 9 million times.

Here we go again. Today during arguments on the S. Carolina heartbeat act two Supreme Court Justices questioned whether babies have heartbeats. Here's the science.

At 6 weeks the baby’s heartbeat (also known as cardiac activity or heart rate) is at least 110 beats per minute. By 15 weeks, the baby’s heart will have already beat nearly 16 million times.

THREAD: Stacey Abrams is completely ignoring scientific facts readily available in the public literature to justify her extreme position on abortion, which deliberately ends the beating heart of an unborn child.

Thread: Has Speaker Pelosi been asleep for the past 50 years?
Yesterday she made the absurd claim that “science hasn’t changed” while discussing her political views on abortion and the Dobbs late-term abortion case currently before the Supreme Court.

It’s unfortunate that after three years of telling America to ‘follow the science,’ Speaker Pelosi is now ignoring the science because it’s inconvenient for her extreme political position of legalizing abortion until the moment of birth.

Finally joined Twitter today because I can't let the misinformation circulating about President Trump's #Covid_19 treatment continue unchecked.
Uninformed commentators are claiming President Trump received a medication created with the use of human embryonic stem cells. 1/8
My @LozierInstitute colleague Dr. David Prentice and I reviewed the published information and our conclusion is straightforward: The President was NOT given any medicines to treat COVID-19 that involved the destruction of human life. 2/8
