PepsiCo Halts Use of Embryonic Stem Cell Technology in Flavor Testing by Senomyx

~ Pharmer ~ 3 Comments

PepsiCo has taken steps to alter its policies concerning the flavor testing company which uses embryonic stem cell derived technology for its procedures.

The result of a general boycott of Pepsi products by pro-lifers is a statement by PepsiCo’s VP of Global Public Policy, sent to COGforlife. “Senomyx will not use HEK cells or any other tissues or cell lines derived from human embryos or fetuses for research performed on behalf of PepsiCo.”

It’s OK for Pharmer to buy Pepsi products again.

Some find the process of making a human to be uncomfortable, due to physical changes. Others find it to be a time of altered perceptions, with life’s disasters becoming more tolerable, and smaller by comparison to the job of people production. Most probably experience a bit of both.

Your friendly Pharmer personally notes that progesterone is an insanely effective appetite stimulant which can cause extremely rapid weight gain. There is also the benzodiazepine-like brain fog of pregnancy, induced by endogenous PREGNAZOPAM. 😉 It causes that shrinking of anxiety and self consciousness (preparatory to breast feeding and management of a baby’s prolonged state of incontinence.)

Facebook Bans Tennessee Mother Heather Walker for Posting Photos of Baby Born With Severe Birth Defect Anencephaly | Video | TheBlaze.com.

Grayson Walker was born with a neural tube defect at the top of his head. Consequently this left him with a bit of a froggie facial appearance and only about 8 hours of life after birth. He’s had a profound effect on other people, however, since his parents chose to share his short existence with friends and family, and on Facebook. Give it up for Grayson, who didn’t have time or capacity for self pity, and has left plenty of us feeling more grateful for our own life and health.
Message the Pharmer about your favorite social media alternatives. The Tweeter is to the right on the sidebar.
It might be time pick another venue if Facebook operators thinks little Grayson is unsuitable, while permitting countless gross and disgusting pages and profiles. Lets see whether they will rearrange their priorities.

Multiple mistakes about Obama and the Born Alive Act in new book, “The Amateur” | Jill Stanek

~ Pharmer

Jill Stanek reviews Obama opposition to protection for babies born alive, though their mothers were wanting abortion. She addresses errors in the new book “The Amateur”, which is an unfavorable biography of Obama.
Rather than recap, Pharmer points you directly to her article, because it is packed with corroborating links and images.

Multiple mistakes about Obama and the Born Alive Act in new book, "The Amateur" | Jill Stanek.

The old media continues to work overtime to suppress Obama’s extreme pro abortion stance, which is to the left of most abortionists. It’s the responsibility of the new media to keep bringing this topic up, so that all are made aware of it.

Whoa! The Canadian Bishops Have Noticed!!

Canadian Bishops: Abortion Threatens Religious Freedom | LifeNews.com.

Pharmer has been on the case of the USCCB for ignoring the state and federal assaults on religious freedom, particularly with respect to the health care professionals who refuse to kill their patients. Canada, under the scourge of socialized medicine for decades, has had a longer history of egregious assaults on ethical practice in health care. You can visit the Conscience Laws website to get a view of this.

Lifenews chronicles a momentous occurrence! The Canadian Bishops have noticed that abortion has wreaked havoc on religious freedom in that country!! and have issued a public response. This coincides with the grass roots resurgence of pro-life-ism in that country.

This LATE LATE response is more evidence that TOP DOWN orders from the Vatican, and grass roots pressures are compelling many of these sleeping Bishops to take action.

The Pain of Selective Reduction

~ Pharmer

An article appears at American Thinker relating the damage caused by a selective reduction abortion.   The author’s  wife had IVF treatment which  resulted in her bearing triplets.   She decided that she could only keep one of them and opted  for the selective reduction procedure.  The author tried to pursuade his wife not to go through with this but she was adamant.

The procedure involved injecting two of the embryos with potassium chloride,  guided by ultrasound.  Anonymous Dad watched the screen as this was done,  and witnessed the aversion responses and deaths of these two triplets.   Contrary to the visible evidence, the fertility doctor insisted that the deaths were painless.

From Anonymous: “I pray to G-d every day to take those two innocents to Him, to welcome them, and I ask them every day for forgiveness.  As I will every day for the rest of my life.  I don’t know what accommodation my wife will make mentally and spiritually.  That is her business, and a burden her conscience must bear.”

These words indicate a marriage on the rocks.  This is a couple that needs to get with Project Rachel or some other post abortion counseling agency if they want their marriage to survive.  One wonders how many divorces result from the  differing beliefs of spouses about the value of human life.

Anonymous Dad contributed his article likely  as an act of repentance, and also in the hope that others could be dissuaded from abortions.  Prayers for his success.
