Almost 100 so-called fetal 'heartbeat' bills have been introduced across 25 U.S. states since 2011.
a person is dead, therefore its presence suggests they are alive. That's despite the fact cardiac activity is not the same as a functioning heart or heartbeat, and this alone does not meet the medical definition of life, the researchers explained.
Supporters also used loaded terms such as"unborn child" to suggest a fetus is a person. Such language"deliberately mimics biological, human, and child development terminology in an attempt to add an air of medical credibility to the claim, which cannot be backed by scientific sources," the researchers said.
Fetuses were also repeatedly described in ways to make them appear vulnerable, innocent and at risk of maltreatment, the researchers said. Citing the 14th Amendment, which recognizes the full humanity of Black Americans, backers argued fetuses require similar protection to former slaves.
