The Ethics & Public Policy Center has released this statement with their opinion on the moral acceptability of COVID vaccines from a pro-life perspective. We are not endorsing, or rejecting, their opinion, only sharing.
The J&J Vaccine may be coming soon to a site near you. Based on our understanding of both the Vatican and USCCB, this vaccine would be acceptable…though we would recommend utilizing it only if the vaccines from either Pfizer or Moderna are not available. This is due to it being significantly more morally compromised than either of the other two, with abortion-derived cell lines being used in all three phases of production.
This article provides a good summary of the relative moral issues among these three vaccines, while this piece from the U of R gives their opinion regarding their relative effectiveness.
Update: 3/2 @ 4:40pm – The USCCB agrees…
We are very excited to share the happy news that the long-awaited Mobile Ultrasound Van is slated to be rolled out in Rochester this spring! The van will spend most of its time stationed near Planned Parenthood.
The success rates of these vans in helping women choose life is staggering! Please let us know if you would like to know more about this wonderful addition to the local Pro-Life movement.
Please also see below for encouraging and inspiring stories of lives saved…
The USCCB now has sample letters to vaccine-producing companies urging them to produce morally acceptable vaccines. Check them out!
