I know someone who recently miscarried her second child. She was twelve weeks along when she went into labor. After a few hours, she gave birth to a live baby boy. They named him Sawyer and only had a few hours with him before the inevitable as twelve weeks is still too young for him to have had any real hope of survival.
Children like him are summarily executed every day in this country because they are an "inconvenience."
And people scream at the thought of restrictions set at 20 and 21 weeks ... What kind of people are we?
Most embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos that develop from eggsthat have been fertilized in vitro—in an in vitro fertilization clinic—and then donated for research purposes with informed consent of the donors. They are not derived from eggs fertilized in a woman's body.

The human placenta and cord blood are rich in hematopoietic progenitor and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which give rise to all the blood cell types including myeloid (monocytes and macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, erythrocytes, megakaryocytes/platelets, and dendritic cells) and lymphoid lineage (T-cells, B-cells, and NK cells) cells.

Totipotent cells can form all the cell types in a body, plus the extraembryonic, or placental, cells. Embryonic cells within the first couple of cell divisions after fertilization are the only cells that are totipotent. Pluripotent cells can give rise to all of the cell types that make up the body; embryonic stem cells are considered pluripotent. Multipotent cells can develop into more than one cell type, but are more limited than pluripotent cells; adult stem cells and cord blood stem cells are considered multipotent.

Amniotic fluid stem cells have more recently been isolated. They represent a novel class of pluripotent stem cells with intermediate characteristics between embryonic and adult stem cells

It's beside the point, that's what a red herring is. The ends do not justify the means.
A civilized society does not kill their children in a delusional attempt to lengthen the life of the living.

No deception. No hoax.
They sell body parts, err tissue. That's illegal. A crime has been commited.
Wait til next week., I'm sure we'll talk again :-)

You're 100% correct in your statement. A civilised society does not kill their children in a delusional attempt to lengthen the life of the living. As in yes this absolutely does not happen. So stop believing it does.
What's sick is that you use the visuals of murdering children and try to equate that to terminating a pregnancy.

Can you show any evidence that there has been ANY medical advances due to using stem cells from aborted babies?
(CNN)Fetal tissue has been used since the 1930s for vaccine development, and more recently to help advance stem cell research and treatments for degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease. Researchers typically take tissue samples from a fetus that has been aborted (under conditions permitted by law) and grow cells from the tissue in Petri dishes.
...
One of the earliest advances with fetal tissue was to use fetal kidney cells to create the first poliovirus vaccines, which are now estimated to save 550,000 lives worldwide every year.
...
Many of our other common vaccines, such as chicken pox, rubella and shingles, have been produced in tissue derived from fetuses, particularly two electively terminated pregnancies from the 1960s.
Claiming that stem cells can only be obtained from aborted babies is a red herring.
There's another video coming next week.
