Action alert: COVID-19 vaccines

Recently, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, along with 20 healthcare, bioethics, and pro-life organizations, sent a letter urging the Food and Drug Administration to ensure that any vaccine for COVID-19 be developed ethically and with no connection to abortion. Among the dozen vaccines being developed, some are being produced using old cell lines from the cells of aborted babies. As the bishops point out, no one should be forced to choose between being vaccinated against this virus and violating his or her conscience, especially as there are other cell lines that have no connection to abortion that can be used.
