Of new documents from the US Department of Health and Human Services that reveal nearly $3 million in federal funds were spent on the University of Pittsburgh's quest to become a "Tissue Hub" for human fetal tissue ranging from 6 to 42 weeks gestation.
These documents were obtained as part of the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit in which Judicial Watch represents CMP and is suing HHS after it failed to respond to an April 28, 2020, FOIA request seeking among other things, the grant applications for a University of Pittsburgh "Tissue hub and collection site."
In the proposal, Pitt notes that is has been "collecting fetal tissue for over 10 years include[ing] liver, heart, gonads, legs, brain, genitourinary tissues including kidneys, ureters and bladders.
The Pitt scientists note that, "All fetal tissue is collected through a collaborative process including Family Planning, Obstetrics and Pathology.
The documents show NIH has funded at least $2.7 million so far for Pitt's human fetal tissue harvesting and hub.
Records from the FDA showing the agency spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to buy human fetal tissue from California-based Advanced Bioscience Resources.
"These documents show taxpayer money is being used to turn the University of Pittsburgh is a one-stop human fetal tissue shop - from procuring the tissue from elective abortions, 'subdividing' the human remains, to distributing and shipping the harvested tissue," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
