CNSNews.com) – Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) sent a letter signed by 62 other Democrats to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, supporting her agency's review of the policy that bans homosexual and bisexual men from donating blood. The Democrats say the ban is “outdated,” and they called the HHS pilot study an important step in "assessing the feasibility of allowing healthy gay and bisexual men to donate blood while maintaining the safety of our blood supply."

Playing Russian roulette with our lives. Outdated? I think not. Typical Democrat move.

It's bad enough not knowing what you're getting but adding this to the chain make it even more frightening.

[FlingWingFlyer]

All 62 of them should be given a transfusion with some of that “low risk” blood donated by homosexuals.

[ElkGroveDan]

Why? So the homos can feel good about themselves? Seriously? I wonder if they put one of those warning labels the liberals are so fond of on the donor blood that the doctors had to tell you about. How many people would say, “Oh sure go ahead and pump the ‘low risk’ sodomite blood into me.” Would Sebelius want it for herself of family members? Maybe someone should ask her.

[LibLieSlayer]

Oh hell no! Any politician that votes for this or if sebelius approves it... every one of these people should face murder charges when the first person is AGAIN infected by tainted blood.

Obama truly is the first gay President. It seems he is more focused on homosexual issues than literally any other issue. Is it because for homosexual issues, he can just issue mandates without needing to work with other branches of Gov’t, so its easier for him?

His administration’s preoccupation with homosexuality is both puzzling and stunning at the same time.

There is no such thing as a low risk homosexual.
Just by pure numbers they have the highest rate of all hepatitis, aids, and other blood born pathogens.

It’s all about votes mostly.IMO

Ok - how about an amendment to this bill that would allow people who WANT blood transfusions from homosexuals can get it - and, that Senator Kerry and his family be required to ONLY get blood transfusions from homosexuals - and, this same rule should apply to all the idiots who sign onto this bill.

[A. Morgan]

BINGO!

That would be okay by me. Never happen tho,

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.)..co-conspirators.

[Mike Darancette]

These 63 (including Kathleen Sebelius) should show the way by volunteering to take some of this “low risk” blood).

healthy gay and bisexual men

An oxymoron, since the risk is continuous.

Taking common sense measures to minimize the risk of contaminating the blood supply is politically "outdated" to democrats. Instead they ruthlessly pander to their donor base.

I once showed a liberal CDC data, showing that HIV (and alot of other diseases) were most prevalent in gays.

Her response:

Your data in ‘outdated’.

I see a meme coming on.

[TribalPrincess2U]

What really pizzes me off is the way they are trying to force all this ‘healthy’ stuff down our throats. Be healthy, move. Don’t eat peanut butter and jelly. Down-size your food. Don’t eat popcorn—but getting blood from a homo is okay.

I’d rather die a fat old woman then what I could get from a homo.

Sounds fair to me.

Hell NO !

Per the CDC website, men having sex with men make up 2% of the population, but in 2009 accounted for 61% of new HIV infections.

Who are these ‘low risk’ homosexuals?

When you give blood, they don’t ask if you’re gay...just if you’ve had gay sex. How is anybody who answers affirmatively to that question ‘low risk’?

Civilization - the ultimate target of liberals

Maybe Larry Sinclair is telling the truth.
