Using aborted babies does NOT make us part of "murdering" these babies. How many times do we have go through this convuluted reasoning?!! Using donated tissue from aborted fetuses has NOTHING to do with the Abortion issue. I once read, someone please correct me if I'm wrong, that the fetal cells from spontaneous abortions occurring naturally, would provide enough tisue For years of trials. Unfortunately, there will always be some narrow minded people who would question that. A hypothetical question? A child is born but dies shortly after. Would you donate their organs for transplant? If you lookat spontaneous abortions being a child dying ... I've spoken out on this so often, I'm fed up. Bill >
