Are You Opposed To Medical Research?

Those people who donate a kidney or a lung or bone marrow to help another person are hailed as heroes.  Those who give to blood banks are likewise celebrated.  We are constantly encouraged to consider becoming organ donors, at death allowing parts of our bodies to be useful to others.  Some of us (including your humble correspondent) have arranged to be whole-body donors for the benefit of medical science.  All of this is seen by almost everyone as a good thing.  (And the same can be said for the countless lab animals used in medical research.)

But when it comes to fetal tissue donation, the Right-To-Lifers go full-retard and start screaming about defunding Planned Parenthood and reversing Roe v. Wade.  The flatly refuse to admit that something good can come from an abortion.

In 2014, the U.S. National Institutes of Health funded $76 million of fetal tissue research -- the kind that has contributed to polio, chickenpox and rubella vaccines, and to advances in stem cell research.

You're not opposed to medical research, are you?  Use of fetal tissue is essential to scientific progress.  The anti-abortion zealots are wrong.
