Trump Administration Ends Funding For Research Using Fetal Tissue

In a huge victory for the pro-life movement, the Trump administration announced today that it is ending the federal government’s contracts with the University of California, San Francisco, over the lab’s use of tissue from electively aborted babies.

Fox News reports that the Department of Health and Human Services announced the contract’s end Wednesday after a six-month investigation into the university’s practices. The investigation was part of a much larger HHS audit looking into research across the board to determine if taxpayers were funding researchers using aborted embryos or fetal tissue.
