SALT LAKE CITY â Some Utahns with devout religious beliefs have concerns with the methods used to develop the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
This week, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops called the vaccine âmorally compromisedâ and claimed researchers used cell lines from aborted fetuses to develop the vaccine.
Some Catholics who are anti-abortion now face a serious issue of conscience.
âWhat is abortion? Itâs never been permissible in the Catholic church under any circumstances,â said Ruth Lowe, an anti-abortion advocate. âI know good, practicing Catholics both supporting the vaccines and taking them. I love and look up to them, as well as the other side.â
