Or, hear me out on this, it's acceptable because the drug isn't actually developed from aborted human tissue.
To wit:
" The stem cells most commonly used at Regeneron are mouse embryonic stem cells and human blood stem cells. Currently, there are limited research efforts employing human-induced pluripotent stem cell lines derived from adult human cells and human embryonic stem cells that are approved for research use by the National Institutes of Health and created solely through in vitro fertilization. "
No babies are being killed for this. This isn't the product of abortion or anything like that. The characterization of the therapeutic given to the president is wrong.

Fertilized embryonic cells are used. Aborted or not. Life was created. If it is an embryo until 6 or 8 weeks why would it matter if it was aborted or lab made and destroyed?

Or...Hear me out here...He got COVID19, went to the hospital where he was given effective therapeutics, and then went home.
Or he's the only "senior" to miraculously feel brand new within 3 days. No other seniors have experienced said effective therapeutics and recovered within 3 days and went home.
Please hear me outhere- open your mind.
The cells used to develop the drug are known as HEK-293T cells, a line of cells used in laboratories. The cells were originally derived from an embryonic kidney after an elective abortion performed in the Netherlands in the 1970s.
Again, since you're ignoring details here, no aborted babies or anything like that was used.

Interesting. There may be some disagreement on that. If you are pro-life. I mean of course it is a way to justify why this is acceptable.
