What's this?

Well, it’s not “manufactured”, but it’s also not the result of

a beating heart.

But what does Dr Aftab know anyway? MAGA don’t need no stickin’ doctors or science.

Btw, appreciate the free rent.

I also think you guys should go all in on the abortion issue.

—————————————
But what exactly do we mean when we talk about a "fetal heartbeat" at six weeks of pregnancy? Although some people might picture a heart-shaped organ beating inside a fetus, this is not the case.

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.
