Daily Verse | Micah 2:11
If a liar and deceiver comes and says,
‘I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,’
he would be just the prophet for this people!

Friday the 23 and one more week of September. The days fly by.
Stacy Abrams, Democrat and Georgia gubernatorial candidate for governor and president of United Earth, has made the absurd claim that there is no such thing as a fetal heartbeat at six weeks. Instead, she claims that the heartbeat you hear is a “manufactured sound.”
And why would ultrasound machines fake heartbeat sounds? Because men.
I don’t know any of the science behind fetal development or the mechanics of an ultrasound machine, but I’m pretty sure the “science is settled,” as they say, regarding when a fetus develops a heart.
Fox News medical contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier slammed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams for her “flat-out lie” after the Democrat claimed the fetal heartbeat at six weeks gestation is a “manufactured sound.” Saphier ripped Abrams Thursday for her remarks on “Outnumbered,” demanding she be held “accountable” for her fictitious claims…
So what about three weeks after gestation or after conception? The heart, the cells of the heart, the myocardium starts to rhythmically contract. So really the heart starts beating at three weeks. Yes, you can start seeing the heartbeat five to six weeks after conception on the ultrasound, but that’s only because it’s so small and because of all the other structures are in the way with the pelvis. But that heart is contracting very easy early on. It is not a conspiracy. It is not anything to do with what she’s talking about, and I think that she needs to be held accountable for the lies that are coming out of her mouth.
What’s not so easy to understand is her claim that the so-called “manufactured sound” is “designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman’s body.” Can we break it down?
“Designed to convince people” — I think what she’s referring to here is not the actual design of the sound (such as its pitch or believability) as much as she’s saying the idea of faking the sound of a heartbeat will be persuasive to people.
Odd choice of the word “people” as opposed to, say, “women,” given what she says next. But I think what she’s referring to is the general electorate. The voters.
And what will the electorate be convinced of?
“That men have the right to take control of a woman’s body” — This, says Abrams, is what the people who vote will be convinced of if they hear a heartbeat.
They will be convinced that there’s a living baby in the uterus, not just a clump of cells.
They will be convinced they have a moral obligation to protect and care for that baby as it grows through the nine months of pregnancy.
So if “people” are convinced that there is a heartbeat, they’ll vote to make it illegal to kill the baby in your womb by abortion or, as she puts it, “to take control of a woman’s body.” This is unacceptable to her and the modern Left because abortion is the sacrosanct religious practice of child sacrifice in the name of sex without consequence.
What makes my analysis unsure is that she refers only to “men” taking control of women’s bodies. But both men and women vote, so I could be wrong. On the other hand, she could be making men the oppressors and women the victims, which fits neatly with her Leftist ambitions.
Whatever the twisted logic behind her claim, Abrams is peddling a conspiracy, which we know is dangerous misinformation and should be censored by big tech and social media companies.
Right?
Have a good weekend.
