If the baby has a heart beat they are a living being. I applaud Texas. There are all types of birth control, no reason for abortions.
"Rather, at six weeks of pregnancy, an ultrasound can detect "a little flutter in the area that will become the future heart of the baby," said Dr. Saima Aftab, medical director of the Fetal Care Center at Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami. This flutter happens because the group of cells that will become the future "pacemaker" of the heart gain the capacity to fire electrical signals, she said."
Is a 'fetal heartbeat' really a heartbeat at 6 weeks?
What exactly do we mean when we talk about a "fetal heartbeat" at six weeks of pregnancy?

The fluttering cells doesn't pump any blood or sustain the life of the fetus whatsoever.
