Conservative Legal Group Challenges New York’s Mandate, Calling COVID-19 Vaccines ‘Abortion Connected’


A conservative legal group is suing over New York State’s vaccine mandate for healthcare workers, claiming that COVID-19 vaccines violate their religious rights because they are “abortion-connected.”

The complaint, filed by the Thomas More Society on behalf of a group of unnamed “medical professionals” in the Northern District of New York, asks the federal judge to keep their names hidden during the litigation to protect them from being subjected to “risk of ostracization, threats of harm, immediate firing and other retaliatory consequences if their names become known.”

The lawsuit claims that they are entitled to a religious exemption because the vaccines “employ aborted fetus cell lines in their testing, development, or production.” According to pleadings, all three vaccines currently in use in the U.S. — those made by Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson — “employ fetal cell lines derived from procured abortion in testing.”

COVID-19 vaccines themselves do not contain aborted fetal cells. Some opponents of abortion have objected to the fact that some coronavirus vaccines have used cells originally isolated from fetal tissue in various stages of vaccine development and manufacturing, according to a fact sheet on the issue by the North Dakota Department of Health and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
