There are plenty of medical professionals involved in our organization. But that's not the point, you're stuck with arguing about degrees and the finer points of the definition of "derived," because you don't want to just say "people don't have a right to know."

This isn't about people having a right to know. It's about legislating the doctor patient relationship, telling people one piece of misleading information, and hoping it will prevent them from getting vaccinated. (1)

If you would like this information available to people with strongly held beliefs there are other ways. For one, you could create resources yourself. If this was really about the right to know you could tell people the whole story and let them decide. (2)

Oh, it's not at all about the "right to know." If it was, the language in the bill wouldn't be so deceptive and emotive.
@doritmi suggested less emotive and more accurate language. Anyone wanna bet whether RTL will push the bill's sponsors to adopt it? It won't.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

How is "derived from aborted fetal tissue" emotive? Again, the bill does not say how doctors or nurses have to explain it to patients, that's a legal definition. Do you not trust doctors and nurses to explain this to their own patients?

Please. Now you're being insincere. You know very well that's emotive language. And you should know by now it's also misleading. The bill requires providers to say things that are misleading, emotionally manipulative to their patients.

The bill doesn't require them to say anything specific. It does not define that language. You are not being accurate.

Do I need to quote the text again? "Before administering an immunizing agent derived from aborted fetal tissue to an individual, a health care provider shall notify the individual ... that the immunizing agent was derived from aborted fetal tissue." http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2017-2018/billintroduced/Senate/pdf/2018-SIB-1055.pdf …

We don't expect doctors and nurses to lie to patients. The problem is even many of them have no idea how the two cell lines in question were made.

I offered you alternative language that would more accurately reflect the reality. You brushed it off.

Of course they did. That's because the entire bill has nothing to do with informed consent and everything to do with furthering an antiabortion and antivaccine agenda.
