The Louisiana Senate is taking up HCR 26, the Prenatal Development Education Resolution — a measure that would direct the state’s Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to adopt curriculum standards ensuring students receive accurate, science-based instruction on how babies develop in the womb.
The resolution urges BESE to adopt education standards to ensure every student receives accurate education through ultrasound and computer animation showing prenatal development of the baby in the womb.
The Louisiana House of Representatives passed a companion resolution, HCR 28, on April 13. The Senate is now being asked to pass HCR 26 — the first formal step toward ensuring scientifically accurate prenatal content becomes part of Louisiana’s educational standards.
The bill asks students to see what science already confirms: that a human being develops in the womb through a detailed, ordered, biological process. At a time when abortion advocates work hard to obscure that reality, Louisiana is moving to make sure its students know the facts.
