The thing is that stem cells don;t come from fetuses but very early embryos. So not from abortion at all. Typically they are from people having fertility treatment where they take out many eggs, fertilise many, select some and reimplant them. the rest are stored and eventually destroyed.

To my mind--even if you consider creating and killing these embryos to be bad, getting extra benefit from their "life" is better than simply throwing them away.
