Washington, DC -- A leading pro-life group that educates about the vaccines that are based on the cells from babies killed in abortions is worried about a new decision from the pharmaceutical giant Merck. The company has decided to stop producing some vaccines that are not made based on fetal cells from abortions.

Guess who “sells” them the most “fetal cells” - answer besides your local abortionist, Planned Parenthood!

My oldest child was vaccinated with the two moral monovalent vaccines for Measles and Mumps. My youngest is just getting to the age where she’ll need them so now I have to see if we can get a hold of them and store them until we need them.

Actually, I think there are only two vaccines that are required that don’t have a moral non-fetal-line option — Rubella and Chicken Pox.

IMO, if it were a product that were based on something that was forbidden in the Muslim religion, it would no longer be produced. PC, you know.

Many Muslims are actually pro-life. That might be an interesting approach to take on this, to get Muslims to claim that the vaccines are against their religion and turn Muslims against the MMR and other fetal line vaccines.

In human nature, it is IMPOSSIBLE to stop at one dead aborted fetus. No matter how you try to justify it, abortion of any kind, getting cells from one aborted fetus, will always lead to the world we have today. Abortion mills making millions off of fetal tissue, wanting new embryonic stem cell lines to decimate to “help” other illnesses, even though cord blood and adult stem cells work better. I have serious doubts as to how much truth in this issue there is, as the very people who are telling us what they are doing, are the ones who are using aborted children to inject into living children. I think I would choose to believe that they are telling us ONLY as much as they need to, but not the entire truth about what they are doing.

As always, the slippery slope when aborted fetal material was used for ANYTHING, it will ALWAYS deteriorate to the situation we are now facing. The end will never justify the means, and when one adopts an attitude that the baby was going to be aborted anyway, it will always lead to more abortion, the more “uses” that are found for the tissue will lead to even more. No, I am afraid I cannot agree with your stance. I would have surely like to know whether or not that baby would have preferred life over being made into a vaccine, and I think every child should have the right to answer for themselves.

Abortions were legal in 1961?
I thought they were only made legal in 1973.

I had no idea they produced some that were. I hope Freepers holding Merck stock take notice.

This is why abortion is a multiple billion dollar a year business and why there are no longer pictures of babies in dumpsters behind abortion mills any more.

“Actually, I think there are only two vaccines that are required”

No vaccines are “required”.

Almost every state has legal opt-out. Either medical, religious or philosophical or a combination.

Correct. But given that vaccines in general don’t violate Christianityas far as I can tell and my state allows only religious objections, the only exemptions I can legitimately claim for my children, without lying (which also tends to run counter to Christianity), are the fetal cell line vaccines.
