I think it is but the beginning of the birth pangs of this new "governmental health care". I'm very concerned that "life" on both ends of the spectrum is soon to be up for grabs.
Sadly, the use of aborted babies to create medical products is more common than you might think. Several very common vaccines use aborted fetal cells as their source, including Rubella and Chicken Pox... and for several of these vaccines, there is no ethical alternative avaliable in the United States.
My wife and I have studied the issue carefully, and have told our family physician what shots we will and will not allow. Fortunately, she is willing to let our consciences stand - though she keeps pressing us on getting a Rubella shot.
