If you lack a moral compass that allows you to distinguish, try this
one on for size: the unborn are innocent. Murderers, islamofascists,
and terrorists are not. Is he being excessively pedantic about cells in

wrongness of government funding such activity with the money of
taxpayers who are morally opposed to it.
