Aborted fetuses and makeup

Kenazo

Lifer
Get this, a co-worker of my wife's is trying to tell her that make up companies put aborted fetuses in their makup. (He's hard core baptist-fundamentalist nut job). Anyone here this outlandish rumour, or know where it got started? This seems a little retarded, even for neo-cons.

If you've seen South Park, Christopher Reeve lives on them.

But seriously, stem cell research is the main use for fetal tissue. Fundies can't stand the idea that such research might help regrow damaged spines, Alzheimers, etc. because they think it will lead to more abortions :roll:

Yes. Yes. I like it. That works. Goddamn Jesus freaks. Just once, I want Jesus to come out of a cloud, drunk and REALLY pissed off, spewing lightning bolts and death at all those that use him as a silent witness.

Like that bastard baptist fukctard. Stop using god as your ticket to ride. Be a man and say "I think that is wrong!" Not "The lord says you're gonna burn, sinner!"

AFAIK, I didn't hear the lord say jackschit. All I heard was BS spewing from your bumass piehole like so much sewage from a 100-year old cast iron sewer pipe.
 
Actually in some cases they do. It is the placenta rather than the fetus though and now it is usually supplied by animals.

Umm... yeah research is your friend. The crap spouted from the OPs buddy is simply a spin on what actually happens. It should be noted that the placenta is mosly gotten from live births


Also what would be the difference? It is just a bunch of cells right?

ask him if he liked the Passion, and while he rambles, cut him off and ask whether or not the actor wore makeup.
 
just remind him that god kills innocent children to punish adults. u know... those egyptians? 😉 its all cool with god. keep using that fetus eye liner!
 
Tell your wife to thank him for the info & keep her distance... Don't want to upset people who have a good chance at going off the deep end or who, in this case, are already all but submerged there.
