This article explains steps being taken by lawmakers to introduce a video explaining embryologic development to students from 6th through 12th grade. The video has been developed by Live Action, an anti-abortion organization, claiming that life begins at the moment of conception, despite no scientific evidence existing of this fact.
- Reps Skidmore and Eskamani have both commented on the filing of the bill by Rep Trabulsy (HB 1255) stating that the video is merely propaganda that is not backed by any scientific evidence.
- The bill has a companion in the Senate, SB 1618. The House version has not been referred to any committees yet. This effort is part of a larger bill tackling an array of issues championed by Gov. DeSantis
