GOP Reps. Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene were the only 'no' votes on a bill reauthorizing

the National Marrow Donor Program

GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado were the only members of Congress to vote against a bill that would provide patients who suffer from leukemia or other blood diseases access to potentially life-saving bone marrow transplants.

The legislation, called the TRANSPLANT Act, would reauthorize the National Marrow Donor Program for another five years. The program helps match bone marrow donors and cord blood units with people in need.

The bill overwhelmingly passed the House in a 415-2 vote on Thursday evening. Twelve lawmakers, including freshman Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina, did not vote on the bill.

A spokesman for Greene told Insider that the bill "opens the door" for the National Institutes of Health to "research the remains of babies who were murdered in the womb."

Greene, Boebert, and the asshats who didn't vote at all think
bone marrow transplants for leukemia leads to research on aborted fetuses. Is that right? Or do bone marrow transplants cause abortion? Or leukemia is now connected to wombs?

This is why gym owners maybe shouldn't be making medical decisions for anyone but themselves. She is dangerously ignorant and proud of it, all outraged over things she simply does not understand.

The loaded language is so over the top. "Babies" don't live in wombs. Babies live outside wombs. Until they are outside the womb, they are blastocysts, embryos, and fetuses.
