Money. Killing for money. I haven't read the whole article yet but will. Someone mentioned cosmetics. There have been articles on FR about women being paid to have abortions in Ukraine so the dead babies can be used for high priced skin creams. Beyond disgusting, beyond evil.
From the article:
Evans also noted in her thesis that, “When abortion became legal in the United States, no one anticipated that it would give rise to a tremendous market in fetal parts, tissues and cells.”
Evans’ study revealed that the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and biologics sectors are the main industries engaged in fetal tissue research. The commercial use of fetal tissue is evolving from the mere production of childhood vaccines into the productions of vaccines that treat influenza, HIV, and others.
The cosmetics industry also has an “enormous and increasing demand” for “fetal cell technologies.” This began first with treating burn victims, said Evans, and has now made its way into the anti-aging market, a $30 billion industry: this includes miracle creams developed using fetal-cell technologies, to face lifts and cosmetic procedures derived from injecting aborted fetal tissue. The only limit to the demand for the “fetal anti-aging market” is “the amount of money available to be spent for products and procedures promising youth, beauty and vitality.”
But ultimately the demand for fetal parts and organs for scientific and commercial purposes could not have happened without the legal and cultural protections that surround abortion. Despite the fact that the aborted bodies of “millions of fetuses” cannot technically be bought or sold, a clandestine market for them exists, she said.
