It's like tweeting something offensive is a shit ton worse than teaching students utter fucking drivel.
It may or may not be fruitful to compare cancer to a fetus, but the parallels are there.
The reaction of 'zomg it's dehumanizing babies! arrrgggh!' is what is drivel, because the purpose is to understand cancer, not understand babies. The person behind the slide is not thinking 'here's a chance to promote abortion', they're thinking 'here's an interesting way of looking at cancer'
If this was shown at a pro-abortion rally rather than a biology lecture, the outrage would be more appropriate. You don't take a biology class to find out what the prof's views on abortion are, anymore than you go to a pro-abortion rally to find out whether the speaker has a good grasp of how cancer works.
