(ABC 6 News) – An Iowa bill that would require students to watch the “Baby Olivia” video will advance to the state Senate.

The video, similar to one made by an anti-abortion group, would be seen by all students between grades seven to 12.

Senate Democrats have called the bill “indoctrination,” while state Republicans focus on the educational value for students.

The bill now moves forward to the Senate for further consideration.
