GENERAL
I am morally opposed to using deliberately aborted fetuses for use in culturing vaccines and had no idea this was going on. I am outraged that such a practice is or will be used. Our health professionals encourage people and their children to be vaccinated against diseases. I think this use of aborted fetuses for culturing vaccines would certainly discourage people from getting vaccines due to their moral and religious beliefs--it certainly would me.
I hope and pray this use will be outlawed.
