Using federal tax dollars from the National Institute of Health (NIH), the
University of Pittsburgh partnered with Planned Parenthood to obtain fetal
kidneys harvested during late-term abortions.
Email exchanges obtained by CMP revealed that the OIG issued a subpoena to the
University of Pittsburgh for documents regarding the “fetal tissue
collection procedures associated with the GenitoUrinary Development Molecular
Anatomy Project (GUDMAP) Tissue Hub and Collection Site at the University of
Pittsburgh.”
This investigation came after CMP reported on the University of Pittsburgh's
ethically and legally dubious research program in August of 2021.
CMP reported the University of Pittsburgh's program, as described in its grant
application to the NIH, violates federal law by collecting organs harvested
during partial-birth abortions.
“Pitt’s own statements indicating its Planned Parenthood partners use criminal
partial-birth abortions to harvest fetal organs to sell for NIH grant money
are serious enough that a federal law enforcement agency opened a formal
investigation following CMP’s reporting,”
said CMP founder and president David Daleiden. “If this investigation has been conducted honestly, the facts uncovered may
be more horrifying than we ever imagined. Planned Parenthood has cloaked its
human atrocities committed against vulnerable mothers and infants under its
‘research’ program for decades—it is time for justice under the law for every
level of the taxpayer-funded enterprise of selling aborted baby body parts.”
