I have questions:

The Planned Parenthood supporters claim that "fetal tissue" was used to create the polio vaccine, the chicken-pox vaccine, and other such drugs.

Is this true?

Somewhat close.

Rabies vaccine developed 1885, by Pasteur himself. This was a bit before Roe Wade.

Polio vaccine developed 1952, before Roe V Wade.

Chicken-pox vaccine was developed from a culture that was originally grown on human fetal lung tissue, but quickly transferred to embryonic guinea pig cell cultures.

The polio vaccine was developed using monkey kidney cells.

The rabies vaccine was collected from infected rabbits and then dried.

What the abortionist are talking about is “cell lines”.

In order to develop the weakened viral strain, there must be a medium or “cell culture” to grow it in.

The cell cultures are a single type of cell that multiplies itself in a predictable fashion.

These long-lasting cell cultures are called “cell lines.”

Some cell lines are from aborted children, but they are all OVER 35 YEARS OLD.

You don’t need to abort more children.

No.

At least in case of Polio. The Polio vaccine was cultured in HeLa cells. The HeLe cell line came from a 31 year old woman so I don't think she could be considered "fetal" by any stretch of the imagination.
