I’ve read Kat’s posts. Where are you getting any of that?

Harvesting stem cells from aborted or miscarried embryos is something I have no problem with, no matter how they came into being (with the exception of being farmed as above). At that point the cells are simply medical waste and are going to be disposed of. There is no reason not to put them to good use.
It seems to be suggesting that abortions can provide embryonic stem cells. (As far as I've heard from every other source, they can't.)
