Some Catholics use that as well, though it is not the official stance of the church (I checked the stance of the Catholic church in relation to fetal cells after they pointed it out). Apparently since the person who takes a vaccine containing elements (or used testing) from that fetal cell line was not directly involved in the abortion and can not go back in time and prevent the abortion, it is more important to support life by preventing the spread of illness and getting the vaccine. I know much stricter Catholics who would probably disagree with the official stance but they also have political motivators.

The Pope also stated the Catholics should act in good conscience but that the greater good was served through vaccination.
