No. Cells from an aborted fetus from the 70s have been propagated and have been used in product testing. How, I have no clue, but they can apparently use these for taste testing. When someone found out that Pepsi would be using a company that used this type of testing, someone went out on the net and said that aborted babies were an ingredient in Pepsi products, which is not true. IIRC, Pepsi even backed out of using that company's testing because of the boycott. This has been popping up periodically online over the past two years or more.

Just found this... wait.. what? Were we, as a society, at one time, consuming aborted fetuses?
