      - The Catholic church certainly has an issue with medicine and treatment using aborted fetus cells but in this case they seem to be making an exception -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 28, 08:54
    - That is a good response for colin. -- nm - Spawn Sep 28, 08:45 8

        Here is something specific to the abortion issue... -- (link) - Krusty Sep 28, 08:51 2
        
        i think in reality he's going to be forced to be vaccinated by his employer (a large defense contractor) and is trying desperately to weasel out of it -- nm - chicken daddy Sep 28, 08:55 1
        
        There's nowhere to hide for him as every major religion has come out in favor of the vaccines, even the Jehova's Witnesses are good with it. - Krusty Sep 28, 08:59

- I am so sorry. I just cannot imagine. -- nm - Spawn Sep 28, 08:33
- Our christmas plans are still tentative due to dumbass BIL not being vaccinated yet. - Strongbad Sep 28, 08:31 1
  - I'm still not making any plans at all. Kids can't be vaxed yet, so everything is still in a holding pattern. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 08:34
- I don't have it on hand, but some hospitals were requiring people to agree to refuse a host of other products if they had the fetal cell objection. - Beryllium Sep 28, 08:28 1
  - i sent that to my younger brother to send in response.. can't use tylenol, pepto, benadryl, etc. it's stupid and disingenuous. -- nm - chicken daddy Sep 28, 08:29

    - Of course, sir -- nm - spamlet Sep 28, 08:39

- Pretty sure I came across someone who did that earlier this year, but can’t find the link. -- nm* - znufrii Sep 28, 07:18
- Issued as a punishment, this would violate the 8th amendment. -- nm - Tenetennbaron Sep 28, 07:10
So so many questions... -- (link) - decline Sep 28, 07:02 13
- You guys are focused on the wrong angle: How did she collect said wild bear urine? Obviously if it was store bought, it wouldn't require boiling. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 28, 07:30 3
  - a cup? gallon jug? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 28, 07:54
