Actually the video's showed that Centre for Medical Progress was a front for anti abortionist group and that they would distort anything to try and make their case.
They just a bunch of lying bible bashes who should be ignored by the rest of humanity.

I can't see the problem? These waste products removed via a fully informed consensual (women's rights) medical procedure. Have no more rights than any other human sourced waste product also routinely flushed down the sewer!?

At least if they serve humankind as genetic material for research purposes? Their little potential (rejected and abandoned) lives won't be a complete waste?

"When reading article after article involving the use of aborted fetuses, it becomes clear that there exists a kind of addiction to scientific discovery, to new and ever more complex instruments and procedures. This addiction seems to blind researchers to the fact that they are relying on medical terminations in order to further their work. While there is an emphasis on obtaining consent from mothers, the fetuses haven't consented to their own deaths, much less to having their bodies dissected, cultured and studied."

The aborted fetuses can't consent to anything. They are dead. They were always going to be dead, because the mother has made a decision to seek a termination. With the mother's consent the tissue can be used for medical research to potentially improved the lives of all.

The arguments being made by Cathy Clubb are so tortuous that I can only suspect that she hasn't any reality based arguments to support her position. Would she be concerned if these fetuses were from miscarriages? I don't think so, despite the fact that such fetuses also wouldn't have "consented to their own deaths, much less to having their bodies dissected, cultured and studied." What a specious argument, but typical of the anti-abortion lobby.

If you have waste material and can use it, well and good.

Value adding if you ask me.

It's just biological waste and would otherwise be discarded. A valuable resource for research etc.

Secularism like Islam is a death cult. It has no ethical base to draw from unfortunately leading to guilt free slaughter of the most vulnerable. One minute they complain about terrorism and the next minute they are cheering the butchering of babies. All in the name of women's rights. What an ugly sick ideology. Thanks Kate for speaking for those who can't.

I would probably not have an abortion myself, but if I did, then it would surely not matter to me or anyone else what happens to the aborted products after the procedure finished.
If these medical waste products could be used in medical research, then at least that is something good coming out of a tragic event.

Trying to somehow twist things around so legal abortions could be banned, purely because of what happens to the medical waste products after the procedure finishes is surely taking things a bit too far, even for the mad fundies?
