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?

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?

cuddled up under your favorite blanket:
