John Seven: The Saints Of Exhalation Aspire To Preserve The Breath Of Happy Children for The (Privatized) Good Of All!

Don't hold your breath, at least if you're a saint.

No earthly exaltation is important. The only exhalation that important is that of the saints--of Heaven #homilytweet pic.twitter.com/124HLzHniB

For the rest of you kids, never mind.

Went to #ProtestPP this morning and was overwhelmed by the crowd, the faith, and the hope that we will end their brutal oppression.

"Brutal oppression"??? It just shows the gap between the world we live in and their imaginary one, where crews of PP butchers chop up babies all day for their unspeakable nefarious purposes.

Historically, the use of fetal tissue has produced some groundbreaking scientific discoveries.According to the American Society for Cell Biology, a nonprofit representing a large and varied group of scientists, “Fetal cells hold unique promise for biomedical research due to their ability to rapidly divide, grow, and adapt to new environments. This makes fetal tissue research relevant to a wide variety of diseases and medical conditions.”

According to the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit focused on sexual and reproductive health, tissue from fetuses has been used since the 1930s for a variety of purposes. Perhaps most famously, the 1954 Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to researchers who managed to grow polio vaccine in fetal kidney cell cultures.

In another example, Leonard Hayflick created a cell line from an aborted fetus in the early 1960s that has been used to create vaccines against measles, rubella, shingles and other diseases. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, told the journal Nature in 2013 that “[t]hese cells from one fetus have no doubt saved the lives of millions of people.”

But that's a triviality if you're "pro-life". (The above link, to the Annenberg Foundation's FactCheck.org, will also supply evidence if you need it for other aspects of the fraudulent video case.)
