Ducey orders ban on sale of fetal tissue
Source: Arizona Republic
Gov. Doug Ducey ordered state health officials to immediately put into effect emergency rules to ban the illegal sale of tissue from aborted fetuses.
The Republican governors directive Monday came in response to footage released by an anti-abortion group that showed a Planned Parenthood executive discussing procedures for providing fetal body parts to researchers.
The group behind the undercover video, the Center for Medical Progress, has claimed Planned Parenthood violated federal laws by selling fetal tissue of aborted fetuses to medical researchers. Planned Parenthood has said thats false and criticized the group behind the video, saying the outrageous claims are flat-out untrue.
The president of Planned Parenthood of Arizona has said such procedures do not occur in Arizona.

and to the supporters of this who have a "clue", look at this as just more butter to their already buttered bread.
their "logic" is withering in its stupidity.

(28,879 posts)Why is a potentially life-saving practice made illegal
and supported by pro-lifers?
hughee99
(16,113 posts)Well, if you don't believe that a fetus is a human, than it's just like any other body part. I can't sell my kidney, a removed tumor or even extracted bone chips, why should a "nonviable tissue mass" be treated any differently.

(28,879 posts)You can't sell your body parts for your own personal gain, but you can donate them if you wish.
Fetal tissue is a whole nother matter. When you think in terms of stem cell research and use, and the number of lives that could be improved or saved, the logic says: this is PRO LIFE ... yet the crazee pro lifers will make it illegal or ban it. They are nasty, ugly, shameless hypocrites.

(16,113 posts)Not donating, SELLING... for profit. Not even asking the "donor" of that tissue or compensating them, just selling it.
As far as stem cell research goes, a vast majority of it is taking place with existing stem cell lines and is using adult, rather than embryonic, stem cells.
In any case, this isn't really about stem cells as much as it is organs, selling fetal livers, lungs and hearts to medical schools and such.

(33,982 posts)It reads like 'its banned so we'll make it illegal', dafuq?
But yes, you're right, this isn't a cash for parts thing or anything like that. It's salvaging material, which costs PP something, and that can be *reimbursed*, there is no profit whatsoever.
