Once more: "fetal cardiac activity" occurs before the fetus has a heart.
The cells that will become the heart start pulsing rhythmically before they are even a hollow space, let alone pumping blood.
You can see this in a petri dish.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Zebrafish need that rhythmic activity to form heart valves. They have unidirectional flow before the valves form, through some magic of resonance and pressure waves reflecting off arterial curves, and the resonance results in (IIRC) a stagnant spot where the valves will form. Do something to interfere with the mechanics and no valves form.
Sounds like we need laws in place protecting the life of zebra fish
That's gotta be a kick in the balls to trumps campaign right?
Read as the Padme and Skywalker meme.
It's full of sand?
This is excellent news.
However, the article is a bit light on the details. Like, was the state being sued? If so, who was suing them? Also, can this be appealed? Or is the legislature there going to have to try to pass a constitutional amendment allowing the practice of forced birth? I'll go look it up, but I just find it odd that none of that context was provided in the article.
EDIT: here's an article with more details and the full text of the judge's ruling: https://www.wabe.org/breaking-judge-rules-georgias-restrictive-abortion-law-unconstitutional/
It will likely be appealed. The case is:
SISTERSONG WOMEN OF COLOR REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE COLLECTIVE, on behalf of itself and its members et al. v. STATE OF GEORGIA
EDIT: AP is continuously updating the article, so I imagine that they'll probably add some or all of this context before long.
100% this happening sooner than later is better for the women of GA.
But politically speaking, I fear this will motivate a republican surge this close to the election.
But again, in no way would I put the future politics of the situation above the lives that will be impacted right now by this decision.
At the same time, Republican candidates will have to take a public stand against this, which may anger enough people to increase voter turnout.
That's a valid point too. [shrug] so there's just no predicting anything haha
