Right Wing Evangelical Cliff Kincaid Says America's Blood Safety in Jeopardy if FDA Lifts Ban on Gay Blood

Rightwing evangelical Cliff Kincaid says America's blood safety in jeopardy if the FDA lifts the ban on gays donating blood.

Evangelical right wing nut Cliff Kincaid at America's Survival Inc., is at it again. This time, he has released a press release, "Blood Safety Threatened," in which he claims that while the public is focused on the calamity of the Gulf oil spill, another disaster is brewing that could affect the lives of millions. He is referring to the meeting being held by a Food & Drug Administration panel, the Advisory Committee on Blood Safety and Availabilty's June 10 & 11th meetings to consider lifting the ban on gay blood. Here's an excerpt from his press release:

If the ban is lifted, Kincaid argues, the five million Americans a year who receive blood transfusions could be exposed to the AIDS virus or other infections in the diseased blood of sexually active homosexuals. Kincaid's testimony, available at www.usasurvival.org, consists of the expert views of Dale O'Leary, a writer who has followed the AIDS epidemic since the beginning and written extensively on the subject of sexually transmitted diseases.

Kincaid asks, "Do you or your loved ones want to die in order to advance the gay rights agenda?" In advance of the Thursday and Friday meetings on blood safety, a federal notice has reiterated that male homosexuals "have an increased incidence and prevalence of several currently recognized transfusion-transmitted diseases" -- Hepatitis B virus, HIV, syphilis, and cytomegalovirus.

It also says, "There is a theoretical concern that MSM [men who have sex with men] populations may also be at increased risk for other unrecognized transfusion-transmitted agents." That means another infectious agent could be lurking in the blood that the homosexuals want to have the "right" to donate to the nation's blood supply.

He claims the drive to lift the ban is being spearheaded by the militant homosexual "rights" organizations and gay lobbies which continue to contribute to the campaigns of liberal Congressional candidates. Couldn't we make the same argument about the white conservative evangelicals who are trying to indoctrinate others on what we should believe and what rights we should hold true.
