South Dakota lawmakers advanced a bill requiring schools to teach prenatal development using a video from an anti-abortion group, sparking debate over curriculum accuracy and politics.
A South Dakota bill requiring public schools to teach prenatal development using a video from a non-abortion organization has passed the House and is advancing to the Senate.
Sponsored by Rep. Tony Kayser and Sen. Greg Blanc, the legislation mandates age-appropriate, research-based instruction and bans content from abortion providers or pro-abortion groups.
Proponents say it promotes the value of unborn life, citing a video from Live Action, an anti-abortion group.
Critics, including educators and medical professionals, question the video’s medical accuracy and warn the bill politicizes curriculum, bypassing standard education processes.
The Senate will vote on the bill next, with potential governor approval if passed.
