Boston College is facing an uproar from some Roman Catholic students and parents over its denial of exemptions to those who do not want COVID-19 vaccines because some research on the vaccines involved fetal tissue from fetuses aborted years ago, The Boston Herald reported.
“I’m disgusted. You’re allowed to use your conscience as a Catholic,” said Stephanie Grimes, a parent. “On so many levels BC is wrong. They need to back down.”
