WIN: Trump Admin Ends Taxpayer Funding for Barbaric Experiments Using Fetal Tissue from Aborted Babies The Trump administration has completely eliminated federal funding for scientific research that utilizes fetal tissue derived from abortions. This decision aims to promote ethical alternatives like computational models and reflects a shift in taxpayer-funded research towards values aligned with the American people. While the use of tissue from miscarriages is still permitted, research funded by aborted fetal tissue will cease, influencing advancements in public health and scientific products.

• Federal funding for scientific research using fetal tissue from aborted babies has been ended by the Trump administration.
• The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced the immediate ban on all such funding across grants, cooperative agreements, and internal programs.
• The policy encourages the use of ethical alternatives, such as computational models, for scientific research.
• Tissue from miscarriages is still permitted for research, but funding is banned for tissue obtained specifically from abortions.
• Previous actions by the Trump administration had already reduced funding for fetal tissue research.
• The Biden administration had reversed some of these restrictions in 2021.
• An organization called White Coat Waste has been vocal in opposing these experiments, highlighting instances involving “humanized” mice.
• Recent investigations uncovered active NIH grants involving human fetal tissue, many supporting animal experiments.
• Following reports, the NIH confirmed that exposed grants would not be renewed, and a House committee voted to defund such experiments.
