Fetal Cells
Many people have serious ethical and/or religious concerns about the use of aborted children for the development of vaccines. Here are some links that provide some information.
Many memes and articles will proclaim that "vaccines do not contain fetal cells". But what they rarely tell you is that while there are not whole cells from a fetus in the vaccine itself, cell lines from aborted babies were used to manufacture and sometimes test the components (i.e., virus) that will go into most of the disputed vaccines.
