April 2019 – Article 2:
Defying protests from pro-life supporters, federally-funded researchers continue to use the mutilated bodies of aborted children to conduct experiments resembling the unspeakable atrocities committed in a Nazi house of horrors.
One of the worst examples is the creation of “humanized mice” used in a search for a cure for HIV.
CNS News recently reported that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) – a division of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)—had approved a 90-day, $521,082 contract extension with the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) to continue the barbaric experiments.
To conduct the tests, researchers create a human immune system in the mice. That’s accomplished by engrafting them with human fetal bone marrow, liver, and thymus tissue from 20-to-24 week old aborted babies.
“After grotesquely ripping pre-born children to pieces, they sort through the remains, picking out what they want to implant in the mice,” said GRTL President Ricardo Davis. “The notorious Dr. Joseph Mengele, the Auschwitz ‘Angel of Death,’ would approve.”
NIH originally signed the first one-year contract with UCSF in 2013. The government had the option of renewing it six times through December 5, 2020.
However, in September of 2018 HHS announced it was, and still is, conducting an audit of all acquisitions involving human fetal tissue to ensure conformity with procurement and human fetal tissue research laws and regulations.
This occurred around the same time HHS canceled a contract for obtaining “fresh” human fetal tissue from Advanced Bioscience Resources, Inc. (ABR) of San Francisco. Officials said they took the action because the contract did not contain “appropriate protections” for fetal tissue procurement.
That action followed pressure from pro-life groups, as well as 85 members of Congress.
As a result, in December of last year, NIH only granted UCSF a 90-day extension to its contract. A second 90-day extension was recently approved.
If the contract is extended through December 5, 2020 as originally planned, UCSF will have received a total of $13,799,501 for its grisly work.
There are two bills in Congress that would prohibit funding research using aborted fetal tissue. They would allow using tissue from miscarriages and stillbirths.
- R. 573—Protecting Life and Integrity in Research Act of 2019.
- R. 437—Safe Research Act.
These are the same bills that failed to pass last year and will face an even bigger challenge this year given Democratic control of Congress.
“Even though the situation is a challenge, Georgia Right to Life encourages all pro-life supporters to contact their Congressional representative and respectfully ask them to support these measures,” Davis said.
Looking further ahead, Davis said the better solution is passing a Personhood amendment to the US Constitution which would prevent this kind of disregard for the sanctity of human life.
