I certainly don't doubt that! He even told Howard Stern on an existing radio tape that he had wanted Marla Maples to abort Tiffany.Trump may well have paid for abortions in his time. It's his policies as President that matter.
I have no problems with this. There are no women out there anywhere whose purpose in having such abortions is to have medical science harvest the cells in order to create such medications. I just think it's a good thing that something positive can come from the destruction of prospective human life.
People tend to forget how dangerous it was growing up in the past.And you are not alone. It appears that most of us receiving childhood vacinations were getting shots derived from fetal tissue. Here's a good overview of the history and why: Human Cell Strains in Vaccine Development | History of Vaccines. What is important to note is that the drug companies have been using the same lines of regerated cells for decades and are not using new fetal tissue.
Also, the morality of using cells derived from fetal tissue has been bandied about quite a bit. It wasn't something that I thought much about, but apparently the Catholic Church has. They don't see it as immoral to use such vaccines though they recommend using vaccines not derived from fetal lines where possible (https://mycatholicdoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/vaticanresponse1.pdf). It is actually a good read. My summation does not do it justice.
As for the Regeneron itself, in a quote from the company (Trump’s antibody treatment was tested using cells originally derived from an abortion), testing was done on a line of fetal cells that originated in the 1970s but no fetal cels were used in the vaccine itself. They did not go out and buy an aborted baby from Planned Parenthood. They used cells that had been dividing themselves for years.
As this is a Christian forum, though, the story that comes to mind for me is that of Joseph and being sold into slavery. "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but G-d meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." (Gen 50:20 KJV). Being sold into slavery was, without a doubt, evil, but G-d used that to save thousands upon thousands of lives. The abortion of the babies that started the cell lines used in vaccines was without a doubt evil, but the vaccines that have been developed from them have been used to save millions if not hundreds of millions of lives. It is a prime example of G-d using something evil for good.
It is also a good example of researching something before you decide. Just because a headline sounds lurid may not mean that is actually what is presented. The world is not exclusively black and white.
I agree. "made from aborted fetal" and "cells used to develop the drug" Made from and developed from are too entirely different things.Fake news, twisted news.
The articles about this begs the question was Trump even aware of this? From reading the different articles plus his proclaiming it to be a “miracles coming down from God,” there is no indication that he was!I have no problems with this. There are no women out there anywhere whose purpose in having such abortions is to have medical science harvest the cells in order to create such medications. I just think it's a good thing that something positive can come from the destruction of prospective human life.
Absolutely! If you go to the link listed on the thread, the headline is: "the Fetal Tissue Research Trump Opposes Used To (Develop) Antibody Therapy’'Trump's treatment was from aborted fedal tissue was found not to be true.
21 years ago in 1999 he said he was pro-choise? I guess according to you nobody can have a change of heart? There are a number of ex-abortionists who have come forward and announced they have had conversions to the pro-life position...why not Donald Trump? In fact the priest in your video agreed that "people can change"!Is President Donald Trump Really Pro-Life? - Fr. Jonathan Meyer - 1.26.2020 [snip]
