A pro-life group is urging people to refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine because the development of it involved the usage of cells taken from the kidney of an aborted baby.
While the newly approved AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine does not contain aborted cells, it was developed in part through growing a modified virus in cells taken from embryonic kidney tissue derived from an abortion decades ago, according to Snopes.
Georgia Right to Life announced last Thursday that it did not morally approve of a vaccine which was created through the usage of aborted kidney tissue.
