"This is a major pro-life victory and we thank President Trump for taking decisive action. It is outrageous and disgusting that we have been complicit, through our taxpayer dollars, in the experimentation using baby body parts. NIH has spent $120 million a year on grisly, unethical experiments involving the hearts, livers, bones, and brains harvested from babies too young and vulnerable to speak for themselves." -Susan B.

Dozens of pro-life leaders and House members successfully pressured the FDA and HHS to terminate the contract, but concerns remained over nearly $100 million in tax dollars that continued to pay for other research using tissue and organs from aborted babies.

In response, the administration pledged to review the funding and organizing via listening sessions with scientists, ethicists, and pro-life groups on the research. On Wednesday, HHS announced that it will not be renewing a similar "humanized mice" contract that expired this week, with the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF).

"Promoting the dignity of human life from conception to natural death is one of the very top priorities of President Trump's administration," a statement from HHS read. "The audit and review helped inform the policy process that led to the administration's decision to let the contract with UCSF expire and to discontinue intramural research—research conducted within the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—involving the use of human fetal tissue from elective abortion. Intramural research that requires new acquisition of fetal tissue from elective abortions will not be conducted"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
