The heartbeat of a tiny baby inside amniotic fluid, inside a womb, inside a woman’s torso isn’t really audible to the human ear, writes TPCarney. But that’s a million miles from what StaceyAbrams is claiming.
Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams:"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."— RNC Research September 22, 2022 Taken literally, she is saying that ultrasound machines were designed to deceive patients by people who wanted to “convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman’s body.
So let’s consider that second claim by looking at sources outside the pro-life movement. Searching medical journals, you find plenty of references to a fetal heartbeat, even at six weeks. A 2011 article in the Journal of Prenatal Medicine noted: “At the end of the fourth week of gestation, the heartbeats of the embryo begin.”
So that dismantles the claims that a “fetal heartbeat” is some sort of misogynistic trick to oppress women."Fetal heartbeat" or"embryonic heartbeat" are common medical descriptions of something that doctors and scientists all over the world have written to describe. This Atlantic article, which tried to claim something similar to what Abrams said, had to run a massive correction that began thus: “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.” So yes, the baby at six weeks has a heart.
