Pro-abortion sex ed leader is obsessively tracking 'Baby Olivia' bills

If you think one of the nation's leading architects of sex education standards would want students to be educated about the biological reproduction of human beings, think again.

SIECUS (Sex Ed for Social Change), a.k.a the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, is infuriated at the idea that public school students might learn about the natural, biological result of heterosexual sex: new humans. And it's especially bothered that prenatal education bills, some of them dubbed "Baby Olivia" bills, are making their way into public schools — where SIECUS and its brand of warped, Kinseyan sex ed have long ruled the roost.

To that end, SIECUS has just launched a "legislation tracker" to actively oppose "Baby Olivia" bills.

Key Takeaways: 

• SIECUS opposes prenatal education bills like "Baby Olivia" bills because they require anatomy ultrasounds to be shown to students, which SIECUS considers to have the "greatest potential for harm" in a post-Dobbs America.

• SIECUS has announced a bill tracker to track "Baby Olivia" legislation across the country.

• SIECUS was founded by a Planned Parenthood medical director who subscribed to the sexual theories of Alfred Kinsey, whose so-called "research" was based on information obtained from pedophiles who actively molested young children.

The Backstory:

Founded in 1964, SIECUS has never really sought to educate children. Its mission is, and has always been, indoctrination. It has long promoted abortion, casual sex, and transgender ideology.

As Live Action News previously reported in an article on the origin of modern sex education:

SIECUS was founded by the former medical director of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Mary Steichen Calderone. Helping her to fund the creation of the group (today known as SIECUS: Sex Ed for Social Change) was Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, whose Foundation also funded Planned Parenthood — and also funded a group known as the Kinsey Institute, named after Alfred Kinsey, a man dubbed the “Father of the Sexual Revolution.” ...

Kinsey used disturbing and unscientific methods to obtain [his] data — which included coaching pedophiles to use a stopwatch to record their violent sexual abuse of infants and children and to document their graphic observations....  

Yet, SIECUS has historically based its sex-ed program upon Kinsey’s flawed claims and theories. 

After Kinsey’s warped ‘methodology’ came to light, public outrage against Kinsey led SIECUS and its supporters to distance and excuse themselves from his sexually abusive tactics in the 1996 SIECUS Report. Yet later, the group attempted to minimize Kinsey’s active participation in hiding the severe sexual abuse of children by pedophiles, referring to Kinsey as “The most significant agent of change in American cultural life in the 20th century.”

In other words, SIECUS still actually supports Kinsey's ideas obtained from child molestation dubbed "research."

It's no wonder, then, that SIECUS would oppose the truth — which is what prenatal education bills offer to students.

The Details:

SIECUS plans to track “Baby Olivia” and “Sex Ed Bill” legislation as part of its “2026 Sex Ed Week of Action.” Together, the two new ‘trackers’ promise to keep SIECUS supporters abreast of legislation such as “abortion restrictions, parental right laws, book bans, LGBTQ+ censorship” and which require “students to watch an ultrasound video.” 

SIECUS is extremely disturbed by the idea of students watching ultrasound videos as part of their education. Live Action News previously noted SIECUS' vehement opposition (emphasis added):

SIECUS is clearly so disturbed at the idea of students viewing ultrasounds of prenatal development that it refers to them in an online petition as “anti-abortion disinformation… medically inaccurate fetal development lessons and forced ultrasound videos.”

But SIECUS fails to explain how an anatomically accurate ultrasound video is "disinformation."

The organization adds, "This approach deliberately strips context, reinforces misinformation, and frames pregnancy and childbearing as inevitable outcomes rather than choices. The result is fear-based instruction that denies young people accurate, empowering, and medically sound information about their health, autonomy, and futures" (emphases added).

In actuality, the context of both "Olivia" and "Oliver" are clear: a human being is developing in a womb. The videos don't say anything about abortion or unplanned pregnancy or "choice," nor do they discuss anything in a "fear-based" context. These sorts of comments smack of desperation on SIECUS' part.

It's more likely that SIECUS is fearful that people will see the reality of human development in the womb, which will cast doubt on its pro-abortion lies.

In fact, SIECUS admitted as much, writing in a recent report that prenatal education bills have the “greatest potential for harm, especially in a post-Dobbs America,” claiming that "fetal ultrasound videos" shown in a sex ed class are “stigmatizing and medically inaccurate.”

Though SIECUS acts as if "Baby Olivia" bills will take the place of other school sex education, Live Action News previously explained that the bills “do not replace sex-ed curricula; they add prenatal development as a required part of instruction.” 

Calling Live Action “an extremist political organization with a long history of spreading anti-abortion misinformation,” SIECUS erroneously claims that the “Baby Olivia” and “Baby Oliver” animated prenatal education videos are “misleading, medically inaccurate, and falsely assert that life begins at fertilization” (emphasis added).

In reality, "Baby Olivia" and the detailed companion video, "Baby Oliver’" are two medically accurate, computer-animated videos that show key milestones of human development in the earliest stages.

One would think that since Live Action News has debunked SIECUS’ claims against ‘Baby Olivia’ multiple times (read here), the group would at least attempt to better substantiate their repeated false claims. It hasn't.

SIECUS even claims that the milestones in earlier stages of human development, almost universally agreed upon in the medical community, are “ideological propaganda.” But showing an ultrasound and pointing out the development of the human being is neither ideological nor propagandistic: it is simply biological reality — something SIECUS seems to largely oppose.

This organization not only believes that children are sexual from birth, but was outraged over the passage of legislative safeguards aiming to prevent children from accessing pornography; SIECUS feared that sexually explicit sex-ed curricula might be blocked — a stance that should serve as a wake up call to every policymaker, parent, and caregiver. 

The Bottom Line: 

One thing is certain: "Baby Olivia" and "Baby Oliver" are causing SIECUS and the FoSE coalition to panic, even though the videos never mention abortion or anything other than the milestones of early human development. 

If more people understand the truth of the miracle of human life from its earliest stage inside the womb, the lies told by the abortion industry — which have perpetuated the deaths of millions of preborn children in America — would fall apart.     

If a group opposes the rights of parents to direct their children's upbringing and also opposes the simple viewing of an ultrasound video (easily accessible on YouTube or even on Facebook), that group is likely more interested in promoting its own pro-abortion ideology than in promoting science or the truth.
