Anti-vaccinations AND anti-abortion?
Anti-vaxx pro-lifer attacks Democrat over aborted fetuses in vaccines even though pope told her it was OK
medical alarmist group that opposes abortions and vaccines is folding its two causes together in an attempt to preserve Californias personal and religious exemptions to vaccinations.
Children of God for Life, which promotes the discredited theory that vaccines cause autism, objected to testimony given last week by state Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento) during debate on Senate Bill 277.
Pan disputed what he described as a myth about aborted fetal cells in vaccines, saying the practice was used for one or two vaccines but is no longer done.
Debi Vinnedge, executive director of Children of God for Life, said the lawmaker should know better as a pediatrician, claiming that DNA and proteins are present in several other vaccines and medicines including hepatitis-A, MMRII, varicella, ProQuad, Pentacel, Zostavax, and some rabies.
The people of California are looking to him as a medical expert but unfortunately, he continues to demonstrate an enormous lack of knowledge and credibility, she said.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the rubella vaccine which is part of the widely used MMR vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella is cultured in WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts obtained more than 50 years ago from a legally and electively aborted fetus.

The significant risks to health and life come from people like Ratz who give antivax freaks ammo.
