Do We Really Need A Bill to Ban Using Aborted Fetuses In Food?!

 

There are times when a news article is so disturbing that for me to try and give it any angle is nearly impossible. In Oklahoma a bill has been introduced banning "food or any other product intended for human consumption which contains aborted human fetuses in the ingredients or which used aborted human fetuses in the research or development of any of the ingredients."  I have several questions. First, who discovered this as a problem so that it was necessary to make law? Secondly, who would vote against this bill? Thirdly, why would there need to be a waiting period for the law to take effect? And finally, what does it say that we would even need such a law? Comments?

THIS WEEK'S INVITING CONVERSATION

How has the releasing of mental health patients and criminals early affected our Society?

First off, we at Inviting Conversations would like to make it very clear that we are not saying that mental health patients and criminals are the "same" in our minds. The root problem though is the same -- there isn't enough money to address the needs of many mentally ill people, and there isn't enough money to incarcerate all those eligible to spend some jail time or for the length of time their sentencing may allow. The simple reality is that the cost of giving proper mental care assistance is more than families and communities can afford. In July, 2011, Ohio's prison population this month is 50,561, significantly above the corrections system's capacity of 38,389. It simply costs too much to house prisoners, and in many areas prisoners are being released or not incarcerated at all because there simply isn't the money to do it. Is this having any impact on our Society, good or bad? Is there an advantage to having to find alternatives to just locking up non-violent prisoners or isolating mentally ill people for months or years at a time? Or does this create a risk in our Society to the mentally ill people, the nonviolent offenders, or the public in general? How has the releasing of mental health patients and criminals early affected our Society?
