I read a few weeks ago about an objection to the fetal heartbeat bill in Texas. Some doctors argued that there wasn’t a fetal heartbeat until around 10 or 11 weeks and that the sound heard in earlier sonograms was a product of the sonogram machine. That seems to be correct that the heartbeat cannot be heard until 10 or 11 weeks. However, the heart starts pumping fluid around 4 weeks.
The inferiority of the “brown” races in those early twentiieth century articles is humorous to me. If I am any kind of racial supremacist, I am an East Asian one. (Please note that I personally am from predominantly North European descent).
