Senate investigation reveals FDA bought harvested organs from aborted babies
At least one child with Downs Syndrome was aborted and various parts sold to Food & Drug so it could 'humanize mice' for the purpose of testing new drugs

Body parts from an aborted child were purchased by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under Obama-Biden in 2014. The agency purchased fetal tissues and organs from a 21-week aborted baby. The aborted child’s skin, brain, eyes and other body parts harvested from the procedure allegedly were labeled with a price and shipped by a private research firm at taxpayer expense.
That research firm then sold the tissue and organs to the FDA.
The harvesting of aborted fetal tissue and organs by the federal government is coming to light as a result of several Freedom of Information Act (FIOA) requests and other documents. Various pro-life publications and conservative legal action groups have filed FOIA requests that are revealing the information that the federal government was recently involved, and will continue to be involved, in the purchases of aborted fetal body parts.
The confirmed 2014 purchase comes to light just weeks after Joe Biden’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a policy to resume taxpayer funding for research using fetal tissue from aborted babies. The move overturns a historic policy put in place under President Donald Trump that halted all internal NIH research using aborted fetal tissue, and severely restricted outside fetal tissue research funded by taxpayers.
The NIH announcement also revealed that the agency will disband a nonpartisan ethics advisory board that was tasked with reviewing proposals for research using fetal tissue from aborted babies.
Judicial Watch announced earlier this month that it received 575 pages of records from the FDA showing that it spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to buy human fetal tissue from California-based Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR). The tissue was used in creating “humanized mice” to test “biologic drug products.”
A U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee investigation final report from March includes a procurement log from ABR, a regular business partner of Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers in California and other western states. The log lists the available organs from the aborted baby and the fee charged for each organ.

Within just a few short hours on a day in June 2014, a potentially viable unborn baby with Down syndrome was killed in the mother’s womb, dissected for its valuable organs, packaged, labeled with a price and shipped to scientific researchers.
America’s Conservative Voice (ACV) can confirm that U.S. taxpayers paid for those parts and most likely the abortion as well.
The procurement log states that the baby had Down syndrome (Trisomy 18) and was 21 weeks along in development when he or she was killed in June 2014. The log lists the baby’s skin, brain, liver, eyes, lower limb, and thymus gland, along with what are listed as “specimen fees” for each organ, ranging from $325 up to $650 each.
ABR told the Senate committee in its investigation that its procurement technicians work inside the abortion facilities, packaging and shipping the bodies of the aborted babies “on the day they are procured” so that a baby can be dissected, processed, and shipped to researchers as quickly as possible.
ABR also told the committee that it provided these specimens to about 125 researchers, estimating that 40 to 50 of them were recipients of taxpayer funding through the federal government, as well as the FDA itself.
Although the report does not indicate whether the FDA did, in fact, purchase this particular child’s remains, it can be shown beyond a reasonable doubt that millions of taxpayer dollars went into the pockets of abortionists under the Obama-Biden administration.
According to a 2015 report from The Hill, at least $77 million taxpayer dollars were spent on research projects using aborted fetal tissue and organs.
“We’ve done business with the FDA for many years … ” an ABR employee wrote in an email to an FDA contract specialist in 2017.
Biden is now using the Oval Office to repeal Trump-era restrictions on fetal tissue research. Official U.S. policy is geared toward continuing to compel taxpayers to be financially complicit in funding the shedding of innocent blood at Planned Parenthood abortion clinics through the nation.

The revelations come just days after San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone wrote that priests should deny communion to pro-abortion Catholic public figures who “are unwilling or unable to abandon” their “advocacy for abortion.” Biden continues to claim to be an adherent to the Catholic faith despite his obvious pro-abortion stance. Cordileone is also the bishop of the diocese were House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), also a claimant to the Catholic faith, resides.
“If you find that you are unwilling or unable to abandon your advocacy for abortion, you should not come forward to receive Holy Communion,” the archbishop told Catholic public figures. “To publicly affirm the Catholic faith while at the same time publicly rejecting one of its most fundamental teachings is simply dishonest.”
Cordileone’s rebuke of public figures who support abortion came in a 17-page letter on Saturday titled Before I Formed You in the Womb I Knew You. He did not name any particular public or elected figures. He adds that pastors should call Catholic public figures “to conversion and to warn them that if they do not amend their lives they must answer before the tribunal of God for the innocent blood that has been shed.”
The bishop’s letter came one the heels of an announcement by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) that it will convene a national meeting in June to discuss whether to tell Biden and other high profile Catholic politicians not to receive Holy Communion at mass if they continue to be public advocates of abortion.
“Because President Biden is Catholic, it presents a unique problem for us,” Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City, Kansas, chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Pro-Life Activities, told ACV. “It can create confusion. … How can he say he’s a devout Catholic and he’s doing these things that are contrary to the church’s teaching?”
None of the Catholic leadership have made statements directly related to the latest revelation of taxpayer funding of baby parts for sale, but they have condemned such sales in the past.
In 2015, when a series of Project Veritas videos exposed Planned Parenthood’s role in selling organs and tissues from aborted babies, Bishop Thomas Paprocki of the Springfield, Illinois diocese, used the terms “shocked,” “appalled” and “moral depravity” in his assessment of the revelation that Planned Parenthood had engaged in such sales.
At that time, Paprocki likened the callousness to human life today with the classical world of the Greeks and Romans, where abortion and infanticide were widespread and commonplace. Then-California Attorney-General Kamala Harris chose to prosecute Project Veritas for exposing Planned Parenthood, though the California Supreme Court found she had no legal basis for such charges, and the case was thrown out.
