I have to confess I was sure this was an urban legend.

The only part that seems untrue is that women are puposefully having abortions for this treatment. The site says it's tissue from "elective abortions" in the US.

Not saying that's better or worse, just saying it ain't the same as what Lifesite.net says in their article above.

Here's another one from the Guardian, a little more clear about girls getting paid for their fetuses, or foetuses as it says here. Your question made me look a little harder, and you're right. There wasn't much in the article posted here to back up the headline, but it looks like the practice really does exist:

Also, this Observer-Guardian article includes this line:

Some are paid extra to have abortions late in their pregnancy.

Never underestimate human depravity.

Me too libra. Or rather I was praying it was. Years ago I read a short story where handbags, shoes and other fashion accessories made of fetal skin was all the rage. I fear that this story will one day no longer be fiction.

We should be thankful everyday for the loving mercy of Jesus. For with a world so gone to sin how can we deserve anything less then the fullness of His wrath in such terrible days. God ordered the Israelites to destroy the Canaanites because of their worship of and sacrifice to Moloch. The evil of the practice corrupted the whole community. Surely without Christ's merits we would face the same judgment for the abortion abattoirs.
