"I am calling on the Department of Health Services to conduct a thorough review of the law and immediately promulgate emergency rules designed to prohibit the illegal sale of any tissue from an unborn child.â
This reminds me of an employer policy banning the use of illegal drugs in the workplace because theyâre, yaâ know, illegal.
An unborn child? A nascent adult? A gestating teenager? When did it become so freaking PC you canât call them a fetus? Conservatives and their overbearing notions of political correctness. Geesh!

I always thought such policies were rather strange. Why should an employer explicitly mention some illegal things, but not others?

I donât think itâs PC run amok⌠itâs more like just another example of âIâm not a scientistâ or âIâm not a doctorâ bullshit⌠taking âmoralâ direction from a work of fiction called the BibleâŚ

Dear Planned Parenthood:
A couple of points. First you didnât do anything illegal. Second, it doesnât matter. We live in a world of perception and anyone watching that video will believe, rightly or wrongly, that you are the moral equivalent of Dr. Mengele.
So, a couple of suggestions.
-
Fight. Donât run. Say why this tissue helps people, and why its important. Argue that this is a smear campaign, show parts of the unedited footage, DO something.
-
Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never talk to ANYBODY you havenât vetted.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey ÂŽ ordered a ban on the âsaleâ of fetal tissue from abortions Monday
Too bad. If anyone could use some stem-cell therapy for what appears to be a severe case of cerebellar hypoplasia, it would be my idiot, former ice-cream-man, governor.

Another âsmall governmentâ azzwipe banning something ALREADY against the law.
Next he will be putting his BIL on the payroll at some inflated salary to make sure the law is followed.

Yeah why should those evil scientists wanna do research on fetal tissue anyway? Whay use could their possibly be? Stem cells. Who needs 'em? And this ban wonât affect anyoneâs health down the road ya know. (snark)
Geesh!
Edit:
Ya know, I thought the GOP was all against government intrusion with lots of rules 'n regulations. I musta missed something.

There is little doubt that the Gov ever watched the video aside from the snippets edited to tell a story shown on Fox News. Or simply what his staff told him to say. Not that a reporter would bother to ask him of course.

I second that emotion.
Sometimes I am embarrassed by my stateâs government.
A former gov. Jack Williams (who had one eye) said at my college commencement when I graduated âIn the land of the blind the one eyed man is kingâ. The response was hushed wondering among the listeners as they looked at each other.

So, they banned something that is already illegal and was not being done at Planned Parenthood.
Typical Chest-Beating/Clothes-Rending by the DERP BRIGADE for the benefit of the knuckle-draggers and Bible-Thumpers that make up the BASE of their Party.
Stupid is as Stupid does.

Since the Republicans have pretty much banned all abortions, there isnât any fetal material to sell or even throw away. And since there isnât, you can bet that there will be next to no medical research done in Arizona ever again.
Expect Big Pharma, medical schools and bio tech companies to exist the state. There will be no new medical centers built there unless the governor promises the corpses of all seniors who die in the state to them. Talk about encouraging death panels. The GOP canât do anything right.

Gettinâ whiplash from all the pathetic GOP flailing. Theocrats in the middle east arenât as knee jerk and arbitrary as US conservative pols these daysâŚ

Women often want the fetal tissue from their abortions donated for medical or scientific purposes. Recovering the costs for management and transportation of that tissue isnât âselling,â it. I actually wondered if PP doesnât have a fiduciary responsibility to recover those costs.

âAZ Gov Bans âSaleâ Of Fetal Tissue.â
I, for one, applaud the brave governor.
Allow me to use this opportunity to encourage him in his courageous campaign of calling for the criminalization of acts that are already illegal, and which are not being committed. Anywhere. By anyone.
As you well know, valiant Il Duce, piracy is already illegal and non-existent in Arizona. What more logical next step for a bold demagogue like you than denouncing it?
And what about animal voting? Each year, millions of American animals do not vote â and theyâre prohibited from it, too!
Or manufacturers who unashamedly donât remove tags from mattresses, coupled with the fact that itâs already illegal for them to do so!
America is hungry for a fearless sociopath who can lead us against never-committed, yet already-illegal acts. You are that man! Your time has come. You have been called to greatness.
And may the Grift be with you.

Which only addresses abortion when it describes a concoction designed to produce one.
