Bachmann: 'Medical Experimentation' on Migrant Children?

Bachmann Suggests Gov't Wants To Use Migrant Children For 'Medical Experimentation'

The woman is demented.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) suggested Wednesday that the U.S. government could subject thousands of unaccompanied migrant children crossing the Texas-Mexico border to "medical experimentation."

“We have 400,000 foster children in this country, and now President Obama is trying to bring all of those foreign nationals, the illegal aliens, to the country and he has said that he will put them in the foster care system,” Bachmann said during an interview on "WallBuilders Live," as recorded by Right Wing Watch. “Well, I will tell you from personal experience, we don’t have enough foster parents now in the country for the kids in America. We certainly don’t have enough foster parents for all of the illegal aliens that the President is trying to bring in right now.”

Bachmann was appearing on the program to promote "Justina's Law," legislation she introduced that would ban federal funding for treatment or research that presents "greater than minimal risk" for children who are wards of the state. The law was inspired by a Connecticut teenager named Justina Pelletier, who spent 16 months in custody of the state of Massachusetts after two Boston hospitals gave two different diagnoses for her unusual symptoms. Her parents were accused of medical child abuse after disputing one of the hospital's diagnoses.

Poor Michele Bachmann just can't get enough attention. Days ago she said the kids were invading, now they're to be used for medical experimentation. Are they invaders or victiims?

She's nuts. I mean, nobody in government would ever okay a medical experiment on someone without their consent. Just ask all those black folks in Tuskegee who were infected with syphilis. No physicians would ever run some procedures without telling their patients or getting an institutional approval. We can ask the cancer patients at UC Davis who found themselves mysteriously injected with Enterobacter aerogenes a few years back.

Where's her quote saying the government is going to use the illegal alien children for medical experimentation?


I don't see it in the quote you gave. Is this another lying headline that doesn't match the quote like rawstory always pulls?

“We have 400,000 foster children in this country, and now President Obama is trying to bring all of those foreign nationals, the illegal aliens, to the country and he has said that he will put them in the foster care system,” Bachmann said during an interview on "WallBuilders Live," as recorded by Right Wing Watch.

Where's her quote saying the government is going to use the illegal alien children for medical experimentation?

From the article:

"That's more kids that you can see how -- we can't imagine doing this, but if you have a hospital and they are going to get millions of dollars in government grants if they can conduct medical research on somebody, and a ward of the state can't say 'no,'" she said. "A little kid can't say 'no' if they're a ward of the state. So here you could have this institution getting millions of dollars from our government to do medical experimentation and a kid can't even say 'no.' It's sick."

Now, it's unlikely, but it isn't altogether unheard of either.

You obviously don't give a flying rat's ass about children. Justina's Law is a really necessary law after what Boston's Children did to Pelletier.

And given Tuskegee and other wonderful hidden medical experimentation that has been carried out she's not crazy for worrying about the fate of any foster child who would be a ward of the State and would have no ability to say no nor would they have any advocate to deny a hospital the right of medical experimentation.

Your own vile hatred clouds the issue of a very important and valuable protection for children Justina's Law would be.

Disgusting.

This is just hatful garbage

everyone should put this troll on ignore

nothing they post is worth debating it's just for hateful propaganda and for flaming on who it's about

She needs to worry about her impending fraud case...

I took it as "any and all foster children" not specifically illegal children. And I can see why she would be worried considering all the freaking advocates Justina had and her parents being there 24/7 fighting for the right to get their daughter back (I followed this one because it was so outrageous) BUT the hospital still held her hostage as their ward.

The case is nuts. So if one is going to do medical experimentation a foster child with no advocate be they American or an illegal alien child is the perfect victim.

Good definition for Bachman.

 

[Katzndogz]

The government is looking for foster homes for adult illegals too. Haven't you always wanted to take in another adult to support?

I'm sure she can multi task. This is a great law that needs to be passed.

I think we need to study the brains of homophobic bigots like Bachmann.

 

[Avatar4321]

Is medical experimentation really a stretch when you are already putting them in "camps"?

Well, it's not like we can study your brain.

That's exactly how CPS works.

As Bachmann said:

Bachmann went on to suggest that putting migrant children into the foster care system would offer hospitals more subjects to use for medical research, as she accused Boston Children's Hospital of doing to Pelletier.

"That's more kids that you can see how -- we can't imagine doing this, but if you have a hospital and they are going to get millions of dollars in government grants if they can conduct medical research on somebody, and a ward of the state can't say 'no,'" she said. "A little kid can't say 'no' if they're a ward of the state.

Do you define that as hateful garbage Steph?
