Texas condemns Chicom organ harvesting

 Epoch Times:

Texas Senate lawmakers have unanimously adopted a resolution condemning the Chinese regime’s “vile practice of forcibly removing human organs for transplant” while urging the United States to take a more aggressive stance on the issue.

“We want to go on record as saying: ‘No, this is happening, and we condemn it,’” state Sen. Angela Paxton, the primary author of the resolution, told The Epoch Times’ sister media NTD on April 21.

Part of the motivation for Paxton, who has spent at least two years advancing the cause, was the lack of public attention on the organ transplant abuse, which had led many people to dismiss it as “rumors.”

“We know this is true, we know it is wrong, and that it again goes to the very heart of destroying the dignity of every human being.”

People around the world have flocked to China to seek transplant surgeries, upon learning that they could get a critical organ as quickly as in a two-week span. Yet such speed likely comes at a cost of innocent lives, the resolution passed through the Texas Senate on April 15 warns.

In 2019, the independent China Tribunal concluded that prisoners of conscience—a majority of them adherents of the persecuted spiritual discipline Falun Gong—are being killed on a “significant scale” for their organs.
...

President Biden has said of the Chinese government, "They are not so bad."  Those having their organs removed for transplants would probably disagree.  Biden seems to be a guy with blinders on when it comes to China.

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
