But our standards are not so high as to refrain from making use of the tons of invaluable knowledge gained from those heinous experiments. Should we have "morally" let that knowledge slide into oblivion, because of how it was obtained? Or, would it have been even more reprehensible to have done so?

Although I agree with your general premise, I believe that the pro-life view is that some doctors might be more inclined to preform an abortion that they might other wise not, in order to "harvest" themselves some research data. Well...maybe, and maybe not. I think that it's best to try to bring a little good...out of a bad situation?
