BOSTON (AP) — The furor on Capitol Hill over Planned Parenthood has stoked a debate about the use of tissue from aborted fetuses in medical research, but U.S. scientists have been using such cells for decades to develop vaccines and seek treatments for a host of ailments, from vision loss to cancer and AIDS.

Anti-abortion activists triggered the uproar by releasing undercover videos of Planned Parenthood officials that raised questions of whether the organization was profiting from the sale of fetal tissue. Planned Parenthood has denied making any profit and said it charges fees solely to cover its costs.

University laboratories that buy such cells strongly defend their research, saying tissue that would otherwise be thrown out has played a vital role in lifesaving medical advances and holds great potential for further breakthroughs.

Poor babies; used, and abused, and destroyed, their mothers damaged and thrown back out to the wolves. What a godless nation we live in.

Fetal tissue was "absolutely critical" to the development of a potential Ebola vaccine that has shown promise, said Dr. Carrie Wolinetz, an associate director at NIH, which last year handed out $76 million for work involving fetal tissue, or 0.2 percent of the agency's research budget.

How is this different from Bran Stokers Dracula?

I defy you to tell me how it isn't!

[madprof98]

And we need dead Jews for soap and lampshades too. So there!

[Sacajaweau]

That’s a crock.

[Domangart]

Such as what? This sounds like pie in the sky.

BS

[MarvinStinson]

ABORT PLANNED PARENTHOOD AND SELL THE PARTS

[mlizzy]

Exactly! Insanity!

[JimSEA]

No culture based on murder and rejection of the value of individual life has ever lasted long. Even Rome rejected repeatedly inhuman rulers.

[MarvinStinson]

Associated Press acts as mouthpiece for Planned Parenthood.

As does the White House.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

And the Japanese said that pouring water on live children and leaving them out in the cold was essential to frostbite research in World War II.

[Moorings]

Here we go again with the “scientists said this is ok” line. Since “scientists” said we need it, I guess we ignorant peons just have to go along. Baby parts harvesting is ok if “scientists” approve.

[Moorings]

It is a sad commentary on this culture that there is more outrage for some lion killed in Africa, than the systematic killing of almost-born babies, and the harvesting and sale of their body parts.

[Moorings]

They were going to trot out the “scientists” sooner or later to justify the ghouls.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Probably the same rental scientists the Global Warming Scam hire to lend credence to their propaganda.

[aposiopetic]

Experts at MIT

Ta-Nehisi Coates?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I wonder if anyone ever told these so called “scientists” that God intended “fetal tissue” to be used to produce a human being. He never intended it to be used as a toy by a bunch of retards for their ghoulish and fiendish “experiments”. We don’t even allow them to use rats and monkeys as their lab toys anymore. We definately shouldn’t allow them to be using defenseless babies who are in the process of becoming adult Americans. These “scientists” are nothing but two bit pimps, murderers and butchers.

[Yaelle]

Cannibalism is not very far from this.

Oh yeah, that makes people want to rush to vaccinate.

[Aria]

And scientists say that we are causing the earth to warm, they said that Coke doesn’t make you fat...they’ll say anything they’re paid to say..

[mlizzy]

These “scientists” are nothing but two bit pimps, murderers and butchers.

It seems there's not a h*ll hot enough for them, however, I think the heat's being turned up right now!
