Democrats stormed the Senate floor today, warning that the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act, which is up for a vote on Thursday, would lead to employers and insurers denying all sorts of vital health care coverage--mammograms, blood transfusions, etc. Here's a memo being circulated around Capitol Hill that debunks the claims:

Democrats stormed the Senate floor today, warning that the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act, which is up for a vote on Thursday, would lead to employers and insurers denying all sorts of vital health care coverage--mammograms, blood transfusions, etc. Here's a memo being circulated around Capitol Hill that debunks the claims:
The Respect for Rights of Conscience Act (S. 1467, H.R. 1179), now proposed as Blunt amendment No. 1520 to the Transportation bill, has been subjected to irresponsible accusations that it would greatly expand the ability of employers and others to delete beneficial services from the health plans they now sponsor. Not only could Catholics be exempt from birth control, but Jehovah's Witnesses could exclude blood transfusions, Scientologists could reject psychiatric care, etc. Hence, runs the argument, the amendment is overbroad.The Senate Democratic steering committee has even issued a preposterous claim that "20.4 million" women now receiving coverage for preventive services could lose that coverage under the Blunt amendment.

Jehovah's Witnesses blood transfusion confusion.
Jehovahs Witnesses take blood products now in 2012.
They take all fractions of blood. This includes hemoglobin, albumin, clotting factors, cryosupernatant and cryopoor too, and many, many, others.
If one adds up all the blood fractions the JWs takes, it equals a whole unit of blood. Any, many of these fractions are made from thousands upon thousands of units of donated blood.
Jehovah’s Witnesses can take Bovine *cows blood* as long as it is euphemistically called synthetic Hemopure.
Jehovah's Witnesses now accept every fraction of blood except the membrane of the red blood cell. JWs now accept blood transfusions.
