I understand the complexity of the issue in regards to people that have a moral objection to abortion, not wishing to subsidize PP. Anyone who views the fetuses with any degree of personalization, is unlikely to be nonchalant about the idea of selling their parts. The other side of the fence of course are people like myself who don't view a fetus as a person, thus don't view the tissue use as being under the guidelines of human organ trafficking.
To my way of thinking it would be not disimilar to having a growth removed and the surgeon telling you that they'd like to use it/sell it on to some research facility. Go for it. It was only going to be incinerated anyhow, so at least someone is getting some use out of it. In this instance the bonus is that selling on the fetus tissue helps PP's funding, so again - IMHO that's going to a worthy cause. It's a win-win.
On this issue, you and I are coming from a very different view point. I am actually very happy to see any and all fetal tissue, go to any sort of research that it would be useful in. I couldn't be more detached emotionally from it. I've had an abortion (not with PP - they don't have them where I'm from) and I would have gleefully agreed to the clinic selling the tissue for its own profit. Not even the slightest hesitation in that regard. I very much want to see abortion clinics fully funded and available to every woman. I also want to see fetal tissue being used as often as possible to advance research.
