I was just trying to say that babies could die if these few o-negative donors refuse to give. (I don't know if thats really true, thats what the messages said, could be they were just trying to get him in there). But assuming it was true and if he didn't go then where is the outrage from the right? Admittedly this is a third party child that he never knew so he should have no obligations... nonetheless it is a life... and giving blood is not like carrying a child to term either.

The point is there are all kinds of unfair situations in life where people die and unless the same amt of outrage is applied to all situations it appears to mark a separate agenda.

What is the difference in real terms between a PBA and an o-negative donor refusing to give blood? In both cases the baby dies right? And yet the o-negative donor is under no obligation to save this life? What is the objective of the right - saving babies or punishing pregnant women? Hmm
