This link and the video embedded outlines the history of 5 vaccines that are made from 2 aborted children. The video in the article outlines the Catholic position that it is ok to give these vaccines to your children because they help end potential suffering, despite the fact that they originate from 2 abortions.

I admit, I must live under a rock. I never heard of this before. Is the Catholic position correct?

We've discussed this at length in the past. Here are several past threads:

opinions? Merck-all MMR vaccs will be made from aborted cells:

If you haven't already, I suggest reading the document linked below, which they discussed.

As I read it, the video is overstating what that document actually says, which is that the use of those vaccines is, at some level, participation in evil, which is only morally justified in their use as a last resort (extrema ratio), and takes place in the context of moral coercion. It also calls on family heads to consider conscientious objection, and to oppose them by all means (writing, social media, etc.) to create pressure on pharmceutical companies to create non-abortion connected versions of those vaccines.

So, I don't think this document supports them as much as they imply it does.
