A New York Russian Orthodox mom has won the right to exempt her autistic son from getting the school-mandated measles/mumps/rubella vaccination after citing her moral opposition to abortion, The Post has learned.
The woman said she objected on religious grounds because of the MMR vaccine’s link to the cells of aborted fetuses.
The city Department of Education rejected her bid for exemption after questioning the sincerity of her religious beliefs during the summer and fall of 2013.
But the mother, a Russian immigrant whose name was withheld under privacy laws, filed an appeal with the state Education Department.
