Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams sparked backlash after claiming “there is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks.”
Abrams could be heard making the comment on stage next to other speakers.
“It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman’s body,” Abrams said.
Watch the video below:
Abrams’ argument prompted several Twitter users to express their outrage with it.
Republican Texas U.S. House candidate Irene Armendariz-Jackson tweeted, “This statement is an evil lie.”
Pro-life activist Lila Rose called Abrams’ comment “anti-science. Anti-truth. Anti-human.”
She added, “One of the consequences of the pro-Abortion mindset is that is that it demands frequent and obvious lying from its adherents.”
Another user accused Abrams of “pushing a theory here that ultrasound machines, used in hospitals now all over the world, were designed by a cabal of men, to manufacture a sound beat on purpose, in order to convince women to keep unwanted pregnancies. This is beyond QAnon sh*t.”
