We disagree about the ethics of abortion. For those that believe any participation in abortion is wrong, should they take one of the COVID vaccines? Or should they abstain on ethical grounds?
The goal here is not to debate abortion, but to consider how those of use that are pro-life should think about the vaccines.
We will discuss this question with James L. Sherley, M.D., Ph.D., an African American scientist and pro-life advocate. He coauthored “An Ethics Assessment of COVID-19 Vaccine Programs” (An Ethics Assessment of COVID-19 Vaccine Programs | Charlotte Lozier Institute) for a Pro-Life think tank. They maintain an up-to-date listing of how fetal cells were and were not used COVID vaccines (Update: COVID-19 Vaccine Candidates and Abortion-Derived Cell Lines | Charlotte Lozier Institute).
Dispelling some fake news, we will discuss how fetal cells are and are not used in vaccines, and consider together the pro-life ethics of taking each of the COVID vaccines approved in the US.
