The National Institute of Health funds fetal tissue research to the tune 76 million per year which seems to me as an encouragement to harvest body parts from abortions. Once upon a time stem cell research using umbilical cords satisfied researchers but no more. The more highly evolved the cells the better the research. When opposition surfaces, proponents claim that the real agenda of the opposition is to end abortions. Why can't they see that some folks can accept a compromise. Are women even being advised that their fetuses are going to be used for profit making research? I predict that harvesting blood from children at a blood mobile parked outside our schools will be commonplace, mark my words.
Depends on the gestational age/size as well as the buyer's needs.
Earlier/smaller ones are used for stem cell harvesting, blood and cord blood extraction, etc.
Later/larger ones are used for the above plus organ harvesting. Obviously, they WANT the larger ones (more $$), hence the PUSH for late-term abortions. That gets tricky, though, because it's more difficult to get an intact specimen with the later ones (larger head).
Big pharma buyers have broader applications so use them for all kinds of things.

What do they even use aborted fetuses for?

It is a huge INDUSTRY and evil to the core.

Soon they will not have to rely on abortions, but will be able to just kill newborns and toddlers. Post on this coming soon.

Who are the people that want this stuff?
And if you're harvesting organs from a fetus how do they re-use it when it's under developed? Do they keep growing it?
Sorry I don't know much about this, but it's sickening
