Stacey Abrams, who is running against incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, recently told a crowd that fetal heartbeats at six weeks are fabricated so that men can "control" women.
“There is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks. It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman’s body,” Abrams said this week during a campaign event at the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center in Atlanta.
“I believe that abortion is a medical decision, not a political decision. Arbitrary politically-defined timelines are deeply problematic because they ignore the reality of medical and physiological issues,” she added.

Later, in an interview with CNN, Abrams made it clear that Democrats are first and foremost the party of death.
“Women deserve full citizenship in the United States and certainly in the state of Georgia, and they are being denied that because of Brian Kemp’s 6-week ban,” she said. “We are driving not only doctors and nurses out of the state, we’re likely going to drive jobs away. And that should be terrifying to anyone regardless of your political persuasion.”
Abrams was quickly called out for her ridiculous claim.
“Stacey Abrams said there’s ‘no such thing as a heartbeat at 6 weeks. It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman’s body’ – She is wrong! I heard my baby’s heartbeat at my 1st OBGYN appointment. It was not manufactured!” noted former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany in a tweet containing a video clip of her refuting the Democratic candidate on her Fox News program, "Outnumbered."

Others joined in the mocking and ridicule as well.
"I won’t ever tell you I told you so. I promise. Look at who’s on stage with her. Look at how they are willingly eating up the BS. Blind loyalties to skin color and ideologies based on identity is killing this country. It’s a slow death," former Georgial congressional candidate and writer Barrington Martin II noted.

"The thing I don’t understand about pro abortion people is the fact that they themselves wouldn’t be here if their mothers had the same philosophy," another user responded.

"Stacy has a masters in public affairs. Last I checked she definitely has ZERO right to weigh in on what a babies heartbeat is or is not. This is just foolishness designed to make abortion sound less gruesome than it is. It’s a bunch of word salad from a partisan hack!" noted another user.

Democrats are the party of death. They prove it daily with their defense of abortion at any moment.
