I think these cells were taken from infected fetuses that had been voluntarily aborted and the cells have been propagated in a lab since to provide a basis for the vaccines. One I know for instance came from a fetus aborted in 1961 and cells from that fetus are still being propagated for a vaccine. They don't kill a baby for every shot or anything like that.

I'm not as appalled as some others by this because these abortions were going to take place anyway and at least this way these lives mean something. Something good came from these lives. I wouldn't feel terrible about my kids having these vaccines, and for all I know they've already had them.

Um the ends do NOT justify the means, no matter how great the ends, or how small the means.

It sounds like a case of the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few to me, and that is what is wrong with the morality of this country today. Vaccinate my kid but at the expense of anothers. Nope. Can’t accept it.
