New Jersey, oh New Jersey, finding itself in a bit of a pickle over some baby blood spots! Can you believe it? These little ones are barely out of the womb, and already the state is keeping tabs on their blood for up to a whopping 23 years without even asking the parents for permission! Talk about government overreach! The nerve!
Now, the good people of New Jersey are rising up and saying, “Enough is enough!” They’ve gone and filed a big ol’ class-action lawsuit to put a stop to this intrusive practice. And boy, oh boy, Attorney General Matt Platkin is in a tizzy, trying to settle this lawsuit before things get even messier. But hey, isn’t it just classic liberal government overreach to think they can keep baby blood without so much as a “pretty please”?
Outraged New Jersey Parents Suing State for Keeping Babies' Blood Without Their Knowledge or Consent https://t.co/CP8CYZGiIT

Sure, sure, screening for diseases in newborns is important, nobody’s denying that. But keeping their blood without telling the parents and using it for who-knows-what? Now that’s where conservatives draw the line! Leave those babies’ blood alone, New Jersey! Stop treating them like little pints of government property!
And don’t get me started on law enforcement snooping around in this baby blood business. Using subpoenas to nab blood samples for solving crimes? That’s a slippery slope if I ever saw one! We need to protect our civil liberties, folks, even if it means passing some new laws to rein in these overzealous government bureaucrats.
Let’s hope the Institute for Justice can work some magic and turn New Jersey into the shining beacon of baby blood rights. We conservatives believe in limited government, individual rights, and privacy – even for the tiniest members of our society. So, here’s to hoping that this lawsuit puts an end to this baby blood brouhaha once and for all.
