Pro-Life Groups: Boycott Pepsi for Using Aborted Fetal Cell Lines

Washington, DC -- Dozens of pro-life groups are calling on pro-life Americans to boycott PepsiCo because it has contracted with a company that uses fetal cells from babies victimized by abortions to test and produce artificial flavor enhancers.

You really ARE an a$$hole, aren’t you?

Nope.

Here’s the paper:

In that case, I call on all freepers to boycott themselves for the good of huge manatees.

Some vaccines are only produced using cells from those aborted babies. I used to have a link to a chart, but I lost the link when my computer crashed. For example, there are no chicken pox vaccines available that have not used those cells.

Drink a local bottler's soda, or your grocery store's brand...or (gasp!) drink WATER!

[Monorprise]

That is just disgusting... And people drink for this?

What makes you think Coke and other food companies are not using suppliers using clones of same cells?

[newzjunkey]

The article has links showing it isn't just Pepsi. Of the ones listed, story updates show Campbell's had severed their ties with the testing company.

Nestlé, finally admitted its relationship with Senomyx and company officials claimed the line of cells from abortions was “well established in scientific research”.

Charming response from them, eh?

most vaccines are made from fetal stem cell lines.

Better living through chemistry. I didn’t think that something this ghoulish was even possible.
