Texas remains the only state that lacks a needle exchange program
May 6th, 2008
San Antonio authorities plan to prosecute 73-year-old Chaplain Bill Day, who has AIDS, for running a needle exchange program designed to reduce the spread of HIV, The Dallas Morning News reports today. Texas is the only state in the country without a government-sanctioned needle exchange program. With stuff like this going on, can you really blame people like the Rev. Jeremiah Wright (pictured above) for suggesting that the government invented HIV as a means of genocide against the black community? Perhaps a better question would be, where is the outrage in the gay community about the lack of a needle exchange law in Texas? Those needles they use for lethal injections aren’t the only ones killing people in this backward-ass state.
