You might think this is a story out of 'The Onion' but it is a real story.
An Oklahoma lawmaker files a bill to ban the making and selling of food or products that use aborted human fetuses.
State Senator Ralph Shortey says he's done research and found reports that companies have used stem cells in the research and development of food.
The lawmaker that represents Oklahoma County couldn’t give any specific examples.
“I don’t know if it is happening in Oklahoma, it may be, it may not be. What I am saying is that if it does happen then we are not going to allow it to manufacture here," says Shortey
“There is a potential that there are companies that are using aborted human babies in their research and development of basically enhancing flavor for artificial flavors," says Shortey.
Some argue there has to be more to the proposed bill and believe it is a back door attempt to ban stem cell research.
Shortey says it is not, although he admits, he would support and vote for a ban on stem cell research in the state.
A number of food makers have denied the claims.
