From my latest piece “Morally Tainted: Products Made Possible by the Killing of Innocent Human Life” at the National Catholic Register:
Oklahoma state Sen. Ralph Shortey has introduced a bill to the Oklahoma Legislature that has caused quite a stir. S.B. 1418 says it would ban any product for human “consumption” that contains aborted human fetal tissue or where the research or development of any of the ingredients required the use of aborted fetal tissue.
Now, currently, there are no aborted fetuses in any food products. But some pundits interpret “consumption” in this bill to mean not just food products, but any product humans “consume,” like drugs, vaccines, treatments or even beauty products.
In the national response to S.B. 1418, the jokes about Soylent Green abound, and those from all political persuasions mocked Shortey as an idiot with nothing better to do than invent problems and waste taxpayer money.
When Shortey suggested that his bill was not simply about aborted fetuses in the food supply, but about companies using cells and tissues from aborted human beings to test or develop various chemicals, drugs or therapies, one angry commenter on the Huffington Post retorted, “What companies? Name them. If you can’t, then this is the rantings of a paranoid delusional.”

How about heating swimming pools with fires from burning corpses?

Thank God for Rebecca Taylor. Thank you Rebecca Taylor for an evenly and honestly reported crime. Informed consent is all about commercialism. Without informed consent our economy will perish.

Senomyx uses HEK 293 to produce its artificial flavor enhancing chemicals. HEK 293 is code for human embryonic kidney cells that are manipulated to produce taste receptors that express a specific protein known as the G protein. Senomyx is emplyed by Pepsi for flavor enhancers.
That is what this Senator is trying to ban. Think about that the next time you sip a Pepsi.

I will never buy another Pepsi product.

That is exactly why I can never bring myself to buy Baby Oil! How depraved can you get!

Sure, these products are "morally tainted." But what about being physically tainted as well?
I am thinking specifically of the SV40 (simian, from the DNA of monkeys) polyomavirus that, unbeknownst to a trusting public, was given to millions in polio vaccines from 1955-1961. SV40 is a cancer tumor causing virus. Some suspect that some vaccine illnesses (like late-onset autism) are caused by such a DNA virus in the cell line of the aborted babies the vaccine is made from.
That's a complicated theory best spelled out in one simple word – KARMA.

Anon 9:47: Yes. Hitler made soap out of the human bodies after the gas chamber. Have you ever seen the catalogue of human aborted baby body parts available through the National Institute of Health. Do a search at the NIH for aborted baby body parts and it will come up. Oh, and use olive oil, baby oil has benzene in it. Planned Parenthood tried to get women to carry into third trimester to get bigger baby body parts. The human soul, the rational part of man is immortal.

Thank you for this reminder regarding unethically sourced vaccines and other products.
