End the discrimination on donors who’ve visited other countries or have relatives with CJV.

[SoFloFreeper]

Watch that drive the market for non-gay blood in the private sector. Prices will soar.

More health risk....for political correctness.

[doc1019]

They’d have to be abstinent for one year

And we are to believe anything a pervert says?

[LostInBayport]

Nurse Kaci Hickox and Dr. Craig Spencer approve of the honor system in grave matters such as this.

[NorthMountain]

Anything to damage or destroy America.

This is not incompetence.

This is willful evil.

[SoFloFreeper]

I thought abstinence wasn't effective!!

[Flick Lives]

Fedgov is willng to kill us to be PC.

[Viennacon]

Oh I’m sure they will be telling the truth. lol

[Blood of Tyrants]

Political correctness kills.

[Yaelle]

So a guy who spent 2013 hopping from gay bar to bar can donate blood, but me, a universal donor, CANNOT BECAUSE I LIVED IN SWITZERLAND IN THE LATE 1980s when there was a mad cow outbreak in England????? Switzerland doesn’t import beef from England and I didn’t visit the UK.

EVERY AMERICAN TROOP IN EUROPE also during those years is banned for life. But the gay men who’ve been unlucky for a year are back in????

[DBrow]

Abstinent as determined by self-affirmation? I don’t see any problems with that.

Just as an unrelated aside, ever notice how a virus will modify host behavior to effect it’s spread? Cold, ‘flu; coughing and sneezing, rabies; biting, ebola, bleeding and projectile vomiting?

[cripplecreek]

Note to self: Keep skin intact and blood at optimum levels.

[ElkGroveDan]

The cesspool is now open! Everybody in!

[Beowulf9]

Oh, yes that’s a provable fact we can all depend on.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

That’s too bad.

We’ve donated blood on Christmas Eve to the Red Cross for more years than I care to admit. We brought our kids with us, so they wouldn’t be afraid of the procedure and would see donating as a positive thing when they were old enough to be donors, themselves.

From other articles I’ve read, The Red Cross is cool with polluting our blood supply with HIV and gawd knows what else.

Guess the tradition ends, now. Politically Correct people can do as they please; I want no more part of this.

If anything, I’ll now SELL my plasma, versus freely GIVING my blood to these PC idiots.

@#$%^&*!

[SkyDancer]

How do they prove it? Oh. They say they were. Got it.

[ConorMacNessa]

Makes total sense to me - HIV positive - abstinent for a year - what could possibly go wrong?

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Pox]

If anyone contracts HIV from a blood transfusion due to this PC decision, all 16 people on this Committee who voted to “tweak” this ban, should be immediately be executed, IMO.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The honor system only works with honorable people.

[lightman]

And so the lame duck Executive Order Session begins!
