Oklahoma GOP lawmaker believes food contains human fetuses

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/01/24/oklahoma-lawmaker-believes-food-contain-human-festuses/

An Oklahoma lawmaker is convinced that some food coming into his state contains portions of human fetuses.

According to the KGMG talk radio, state Sen. Ralph Shortey (R) has filed a bill that bans foods or products using aborted human fetuses.

“There is a potential that there are companies that are using aborted human babies in their research and development of basically enhancing flavor for artificial flavors,” he said.


Shortey said the decision to file was based on his own research. However, he didn’t provide any examples of food companies engaging in the practice.



Where the heck do the find the dumbest people in Oklahoma and allow them to run for office.
