Dear Sir or Madam,

Please prohibit the use of material derived from aborted fetal tissue in the development of vaccines. As a mother of five young children and a teacher, I am well aware of the importance of vaccinations to prevent the spread of disease. I am appalled, however, by the possibility that some of the vaccines my children have received or will receive come from tissue or aborted fetal cell lines. I will not knowingly permit my children to receive such vaccines, and I will encourage others to do the same.

Please do not force parents to make the Hobson's choice between participating in this modern-day "slaughter of the innocents" (cf. Matthew 2:16- 18) and foregoing necessary vaccinations.

Sincerely,

Jennifer M. Lynch
