 I urge the FDA to refuse to allow the use of aborted fetal cell lines in the manufacture of vaccines. The tragedy of abortion is a volatile issue, and one which offends the deepest convictions of many Americans, including myself, who are outraged that our government allows the killing of these innocent children. Please do not marginalize pro-life Americans by ignoring our voice in this matter. Vaccination is obligatory for our children to attend school; however, when those vaccines are made from aborted fetal cells, it becomes a moral issue. Inclusion of fetal cells will result in parents refusing to vaccinate their children, which will in turn lead to reduced immunity for our nation as a whole. Given the divisive nature of this issue, I again urge the FDA to allow only morally neutral cell lines to be used in vaccine production.
