Listening to the baby's heart beat for the first time

The idea that six-week-old babies in the womb don’t have a detectable heartbeat. 

That’s the latest excuse for abortion being spread by the media. 

Liberal outlets such as NPR (National Public Radio) and The New York Times are trying to combat fetal heartbeat abortion bans by claiming that at that stage, to quote The Times, the fetus has “only a primitive tube of cardiac cells that emit electric pulses and pump blood,” and the sound heard on an ultrasound is “created by the machine itself, which translates the waves of electrical activity into something audible.”

Planned Parenthood stealth-edited its website to change from saying that the heartbeat begins at 5-6 weeks to claiming that it’s just the beginning of heart development.

Washington Post “fact-checker” Glenn Kessler rushed to spin the same narrative, claiming that the ultrasound is just picking up “electrical activity generated by an embryo,” not a heartbeat. 

That prompted a savage dressing down by radiologist Dr. Pradheep J. Shanker, who called that 100% “scientifically and medically incorrect” and called on Kessler to retract and apologize for his “really pathetic scientific document.”

Dr. Shanker wrote,

"Ultrasound only detects density and motion. It cannot detect any electrical activity at all. This is a scientific fact…It is true that the valves in the heart develop later. However, the cardiac muscles that are located in the embryological heart are contracting. They are in fact moving inward and outward. That is how you define a beat… [Is] the beat the same as a fully grown adult beat? Of course not. We’re talking early [in] biological development. However, the cardiac tissue is contracting, which is literally what a beat is. To say otherwise is scientific misinformation, and cannot be treated otherwise."

Transcript 

When the baby’s heartbeat is audible, the mother is faintly heard to exclaim, “Ooh!”

Voice of man explaining what is seen and heard on the screen: 

“It’s a nice strong HEARTBEAT. 

This is the yolk sack, the gestational sack, with the BABY inside.”

The sound of chimes is heard.

“This is a second sack, but it’s empty.”

That’s the first one with the BABY, and this is the second sack, there’s nothing inside. 

The gestational sack measures 16 mm. 

Okay, so we have one perfect HEARTBEAT.”

Personal reflection:

Believe the science, refute the lies of science deniers!

Believe God, refute the lies of God deniers!

Science merely discovers God’s laws and God’s order of His Created Universe.

Has a scientist ever created something out of nothing, anything from nothing?

Of course not, because only God has the power of creation.

God is The Creator and we are his creatures.
