BOSTON — 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 and neurological disorders to cancer and AIDS.

Anti-abortion activists set off 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.

Fetal cells are considered ideal because they divide rapidly, adapt to new environments easily and are less susceptible to rejection than adult cells when transplanted.

So would the Roberts court support a conscience exception to forcible vaccination from Fauci and Gates?

Have you watched the movie? WATCH THE MOVIE!!

In my day they used chicken eggs to make vaccines, Now they use aborted babies. The DNA is transferred to your children. Ever wonder why people get cancer that don't smoke? Is autism on the rise? How about autoimmune diseases? It's genetic. In my day there was almost NO autism. Today you are lucky to not have a autistic child or know of one in your immediate family circle.

If you believe in abortion, maybe you clicked on the wrong website. If you trust the government, ditto. Do you work for the WHO? ...China?

If your name means you are a doctor, do you write scripts for SSRI's? Look up how many school shooters were on SSRI's or trying to get off. (hint 100%) What is the science for wearing a mask for Covid? "Science" can be manipulated to get the answer you want to hear.

I'm glad your children and grand children are well after taking modern vaccines. Many today aren't. Sometimes it takes years to show up.
