Talking Points:
-
Montana hospitals are currently facing a national blood shortage – not only is this bill discriminatory, but it actively exacerbates a crisis.
-
The people who will be hurt the most by this bill are patients who need blood or organ transplants – they should not suffer because of political vendettas by legislators in Helena
-
Health professionals know more about healthcare and blood transfusions and donations than politicians. Keep politics out of the process.
-
This is a bill in search of a problem. There are already safeguards in place for blood donations, transfusions, and organ transplants.
