Fighting for Your Right to Choose: Why Directed Blood Donor Legislation Matters

Liz James · October 7, 2025 ·

Ya’ll, THIS is why we (www.blessedbyhisblood.com) do what we do. We’ve had parents who have been threatened by the medical establishment to get CPS involved and to remove their child from their custody simply because they asked to use directed donors. This is a REAL and common occurrence. The medical establishment and blood industry are stepping on our personal rights to choose WHAT goes into our bodies.

BBHB is working on legislation nationwide to STOP this. If you are interested in helping in your own state, please reach out to government.relations@blessedbyhisblood.com.
 
Huge thank you to Texas Senator Bob Hall and Texas Representative Joanne Shofner who are championing this cause in the Texas State Capitol.

Why SB125 Matters: Fighting for Medical Freedom in Blood Donation

Liz James · August 2, 2025 ·

This is why I do what I do, and why I’ve been on the road and in Austin (and to DC last week) so frequently this year (and in 2023). Thank you Bob Hall for being our champion and authoring SB125. (Sadly, once again this bill did not get heard because it got “slow walked” by one key person in the House resulting in it not being heard despite its level of support. This is not a party issue, it’s a health issue and a medical freedom issue.)
We need Federal HHS awareness and support to stop the blood industry from being more concerned about profit than patient care. 🙏

It’s Not A %, It’s Humans
Wow. How exactly would “directed donor blood orders jeopardize 99.9% of the blood provided to the hospitals today when it’s been a common practice for decades?
Fact: During the 1980’s and 1990’s, it was a standard pre-surgery practice to ask the patient if they wanted to use directed donor blood. The blood industry is a lucrative multibillion dollar industry, and the United States supplies more than 70% of the world’s blood products. They also profitably sell blood to the pharmaceutical industry (there are many products made with human blood components) and to research organizations. The reality is that when a directed donor bag of blood is bar coded for a specific patient, it belongs to that patient. It cannot be cherry picked and sold for a higher dollar amount elsewhere because of something unique, rare, or special found in that bag of blood. An estimated 10-15% of the multibillion-dollar biologics leg of the pharmaceutical industry is reliant upon human blood cells for production. For what it’s worth, altruistically donated blood which is sold to the pharmaceutical industry for the production of biologics will (on average) cost the consumer patient anywhere from about $30K a year up to $1Million. (That’s a pretty great business model!) We would like to ask, are the objections to SB125 reflective of patient care or profit care?
Thank you @SenatorBobHall for fighting for the rights of all Texans!

Fighting for Access to Directed Donor Blood: Why SB125 Matters

“Special Blood” = Life
Thank you Texas State @SenatorBobHall, for authoring SB125 in Texas’ 89th Legislative session.
Meili and her sister have a rare blood disorder which requires monthly blood transfusions for them to be healthy. Early in their lives, their hematologist told their parents that the children would have a much better chance of thriving if they received directed donor blood. Their parents reached out to their community, and found kind committed donors who rotationally give blood to the girls. They have had the same set of donors for over 10 years. In 2023, the blood bank quietly began denying doctor’s written orders for directed donor blood, not just for these girls, but for every directed donor order written. In the summer of 2023, both girls got really sick from receiving blood from the anonymous blood pool (a fact that was not even acknowledged by the blood bank representatives during the bill hearings). The girl’s parents were finally able to find a different transfusion center that is serviced by a different blood bank who were willing to work with them, but they live with the fear of knowing that their access to “special blood” could be turned off at any time.
Directed donor blood generally tends to be fresher than anonymous donor blood. As blood ages in a bag, there is an increased risk of transfusion related injury, including death, blood clots, multi-organ dysfunction, increased hospital stay time, and decreased oxygen carrying capacity. Additionally, not all blood is equal in terms of quality. For example, the blood of a healthy 20-year-old athlete would be superior to a 50-year-old blood donor who eats a Standard American Diet and is on the typical average of 2-4 medications.
