I will not waste my years of training and talent on that

So instead, she'll waste her years of training and talent doing nothing for $0 an hour. Smart.

She said "I refuse to be complicit in the use of a FETAL TISSUE, which was used in research and development for both pfizer and moderna vaccines and in the development of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

Pretty much every drug on the market has used that fetal stem cell line at some point in its development. It's kind of everywhere.

I will not support the death of babies that were used to create these vaccines"..

Baby*. Singular. Stem cells harvested from one aborted fetus in the 50's have been cultured into an immortal cell line that has been used worldwide by the pharmaceutical industry (among others) ever since.

While I agree that the notion of using aborted fetuses is ethically questionable and would not condone large-scale harvesting practices for science, I find it hard to object to this one. The cells from this single fetus - who was aborted because the pregnancy was unwanted and not for science - have been used to save countless lives over the past 70 years. I don't know where exactly I'd draw the line for how many lives must be saved in order to justify taking one innocent one, but it's definitely well below the number that have been saved by this cell line.
