      My goal is to protect children from disease. My belief is that protecting children against disease and death NOW is a moral imperative more important than obsessing over the 50+ yr old origin of cells used to make vaccines. The Catholic Church agrees w/ me. @Right_to_Life doesn'thttps://twitter.com/Right_to_Life/status/1006551994037915648 …

      See, if was never about the medical facts, you just want to mislead patients to achieve your goal. But here's the thing, the more you mislead patients, the harder it will be to achieve your goal. There used to be a MMR vaccine from an ethical source, there can be again.

      It's almost as if they care more about controlling women's reproductive choices than the actual lives of children who exist now and could be harmed by vaccine-preventable diseases. Funny how that works...

      How does giving people information control their choices? Isn't it the opposite?

      Not when it's misleading and skewed. Oh look, like another misleading conclusion you push. Again, how surprising.https://www.rtl.org/prolife_issues/LifeNotes/AbortionsLinktoBreastCancer.html …

      Oh, bloody hell, seriously? The claim that abortion causes breast cancer, otherwise known as "ABC" for "abortion-breast cancer" was refuted long ago and continues to be refuted. Anyone promoting that claim loses the right to be called science-based.

      Well, the majority of peer-reviewed research on the topic shows a correlation. Is it science-based to ignore actual research for bureaucratic pronouncements?

      No, the preponderance of high quality evidence does NOT show increased risk. The @theNCI characterized the lack of correlation between induced abortion and breast cancer as "well-established."https://www.cancer.gov/types/breast/abortion-miscarriage-risk …

      I like how this blogger put it: "The problem is not a lack of evidence but rather a lack of credible evidence." http://www.ministryoftruth.me.uk/2012/08/01/the-abortion-breast-cancer-hypothesis-again-understanding-risk/ …

          "The evidence that these groups put forward in support of their claims is typically of pretty poor quality and has been carefully cherry-picked to support their ideological and religious beliefs..."

          "... while other, better quality evidence, is roundly ignored because it fails to support their arguments." Precisely.
