A bill in the Texas Lege for a nonexistent problem would present a new one.
A couple of weeks ago we spotlighted a half-baked bill from state Sen., R-Edgewood, which would let pharmacists refuse to dispense abortion-inducing drugs with zero justification, even though we live in a state where doctors can only legally prescribeWell, Hall is back with another bill that doesn't make sense. This one, seemingly written in response to the made-up problem that fetuses are in Pepsi, inadvertently legalizes eating fetal tissue.
says a person can't sell medical, makeup, or food products containing human fetal tissue unless they're clearly labeled. Or, put another way, a personAs you might expect, Texas already has laws around how you can treat human remains, rendering fetal food products illegal., which includes selling it and dissecting it, is a felony. Hall's new bill seems to create a loophole.
Such consequences can be expected when you write legislation around problems that don't exist. Reuters had to the aborted-babies-in-food myth last month after viral tweets and Facebook posts from users including"Raw Egg Nationalist" , claimed that"flavour enhancers made from aborted fetal tissue are being eaten without the knowledge of consumers." There is no evidence of that, and, as we said, it would be a felony.
A problem that does exist relating to fetal remains? Lack of support for parents who must bury their miscarried children. A common thread in miscarriage stories is parents' sudden realization that they don't know what to do with remains or who can help.
