Crisis Magazine reported that there was a “Blackout” at the March for Life 2022: “Why, in a year when millions will receive abortion-derived vaccines, did we not remember the victims of fetal tissue harvesting, mourn them, and call for ethical alternatives? This should have been their moment. What a tragic waste of an opportunity.”

We were at the March and we are Taking Recourse! Our pro-life organization has stepped forward to combat the ever-growing use of aborted fetal material in research, development, testing and production of vaccines, medicines and other consumer products.

We have had enough with complacency; we want alternative ethical vaccines, we want exemptions, and we want no mandates.

Ahead of the March, DC declared vaccine passports and VA declared a state of emergency for weather and road conditions, but nothing was going to stop Taking Recourse from being at the March for Life 2022. Our leaders and supporters from all 50 states are on a mission guided by the Holy Spirit. No Covid vaccines, no Covid tests, and beautiful weather, we made it there!

We defend the babies used and abused and killed in the name of science. This has been a long fight in the pro-life movement. It is time to shout it from the rooftops!

Many commonly used vaccines have their origin in cell lines that were developed from hundreds of aborted fetuses. This poses a serious moral dilemma for Catholics.

Taking Recourse began as the result of the 2005 Vatican Document that states: “Therefore, doctors and fathers of families have a duty to take recourse to alternative vaccines (if they exist), putting pressure on the political authorities and health systems so that other vaccines without moral problems become available. They should TAKE RECOURSE, if necessary, to the use of conscientious objection with regard to the use of vaccines produced by means of cell lines of aborted human foetal origin.”

The Covid epidemic rang shockwaves through the world as people came to the knowledge, many for the first time, that some vaccines and treatments were developed, produced, or tested on aborted fetal cell lines from abortions that took place some 50 years ago. Long before the legalization of the slaughter of our children, abortions were being done for the sake of science and medical research.

For nearly a century, scientists working for the pharmaceutical industry have been using the remains of hundreds of electively aborted babies for the express purpose of producing cell substrates for viral vaccine production. Without question, the documented evidence surrounding this shameful debacle unveils the unabashed intention of both the attending abortionist and the researchers present to dissect and preserve the babies’ cells, tissues and organs for vaccine research.

At FDA hearings in May 2002, Dr. Van der Eb of Crucell N.V. — the Dutch biomedical company that owns patented rights to the PER C6 cell line — explained in great detail about this new martyr for the pharmaceutical industry: “So I isolated retina from a fetus, from a healthy fetus as far as could be seen, of 18 weeks old. There was nothing special with a family history or the pregnancy was completely normal up to the 18 weeks, and it turned out to be a socially indicated abortus – abortus provocatus, and that was simply because the woman wanted to get rid of the fetus. The mother was completely normal … PER C6 was made just for pharmaceutical manufacturing of adenovirus vectors – and the pharmaceutical industry standard. I realize that this sounds a bit commercial, but PER C6 were made for that particular purpose. Also, as far as I know, more than 50 companies have taken license for PER C6.”



Because the pharmaceutical industry has perceived a public acceptance of the current vaccines (both childhood and coronavirus) from our government, media, and yes, even our religious leaders, the pharmaceutical companies are continuing and will continue to utilize both the existing aborted fetal cell lines – and fresh new sources as exposed by the Center for Medical Progress – in order to create new vaccines.

This horror is not right and it is not necessary. Vaccines can and must be made from sources other than tissues from aborted fetuses. While the safety issue is important to all parents and physicians, the use of aborted fetal tissue is important to the pro-life movement and those parents who rightly refuse these vaccinations based on moral conscience. Parents are being denied exemptions across this country because of mandates. It is time the parents earn back the “right to choose” what is best for their children, whether it be on moral grounds or from the safety issues that surround these vaccines.

Please stand with Taking Recourse to fight for ethical alternatives and abandon the disturbing history of using aborted fetal cell lines to make vaccines.

This is our year to make a difference and we cannot wait to end this injustice!
