Tip of the beak to "rabo karabekian" over at Pro Libertate.
It seems our friends in the Senate have passed a bill requiring that the DNA of every newborn child in America be retrieved and warehoused for...well, we can't be sure what for, can we?
The Newborn Genetic Screening bill was passed by the Senate last December. The bill violates the U.S. Constitution and the Nuremberg Code, writes Twila Brase, president of the Citizen’s Council on Health Care (CCHC). “The DNA taken at birth from every citizen is essentially owned by the government, and every citizen becomes a potential subject of government-sponsored genetic research,” she states. “It does not require consent and there are no requirements to inform parents about the warehousing of their child’s DNA for the purpose of genetic research..."As usual, there's one lonely voice standing in opposition to Das Überwachenden.
The federal government lacks the Constitutional authority as well as the competence to develop a newborn screening program, states Rep. Ron Paul, M.D. (R-TX).And ya'll wondered why I was so ga-ga over the guy in supporting his presidential run!
Both civil libertarians and the medical profession are trying to get President Traitor to veto this patently unconstitutional POS, but, if I were a betting man, I'd put my money on old Chimpy signing the bill as soon as it clears the House. The violation of the people's liberties matters not one wit to old Chimpy. Not. One. Wit.
But what I find especially irksome in all of this is (1) this bill was passed by the Senate in December, and (2) I'm only finding out about this in APRIL. Where has the media been? For heaven's sakes, people! Get your noses out of Brittney's ass and pay attention to the things that really matter!
