"It is unconscionable that the United States government is still paying top-dollar in taxpayer money for the freshest, most high-quality dismembered baby hearts, lungs, livers, and brains. HHS must provide full transparency and immediately terminate any and all such contracts, and the U.S. Department of Justice needs to do their job and hold ABR, Planned Parenthood, and those like them accountable to the law." -Center for Medical Progress

(Silver Springs, MD)—[Lifesitenews.com] Pro-life leaders are outraged over revelations that the federal government continues to use human tissue from abortions in medical experiments, according to documents highlighted by CNS News. (Image: Pre-born baby/Wikispaces)

A June 13, 2018 notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announces that the agency has awarded a $15,900 contract to Advanced Bioscience Resources, Inc. (ABR), a San Francisco Bay fetal tissue procurement firm, for the purpose of acquiring "Tissue for Humanized Mice." The contract runs from July 15, 2018 to July 14, 2019.

This is one of eight contracts the FDA has signed with ABR since 2012, according to the U.S. General Services Administration, all for requirements such as "Humanized Mice," "Human Fetal Tissue," "Tissue Procurement for Humanized Mice," or "Human Tissue." The revelation is particularly concerning in light of ABR's work with Planned Parenthood in the abortion giant's 2015 scandal over selling aborted baby parts.

"Fresh human tissues are required for implantation into severely immune-compromised mice to create chimeric animals that have a human immune system," the latest notice explains. "This human immune system allows us to test biological drug products for safety and efficacy. This is necessary because these drug products do not bind non-human species drug targets."

Experiments of this nature entail implanting human thymus and liver tissue and injecting stem cells from a human liver into the mouse, according to a 2017 article published in the Therapeutic Innovation & Regulatory Science, resulting in a "mouse with a 'humanized' immune system."

"Fetal tissue used in research is obtained from elective abortions," the Congressional Research Service said in 2015, explaining that tissue from miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies is rarely used because the "timing or recognition of" such situations often makes the tissue "not suitable for research purposes."

"By issuing a contract to acquire human fetal tissue to use in making mice with human immune systems, the FDA is using federal tax dollars to create a demand for human body parts that must be taken from babies who are aborted," CNS News' Terence Jeffrey explained. "Because it would not be able to create its 'humanized mice' without fresh tissue taken from aborted babies, the FDA also has an interest in the continuation of legalized abortions at a stage in fetal development when the tissue [...] can be retrieved."

CNS News posed twenty questions to the FDA about the contract, including questions about what level of knowledge the FDA will have about specific abortions, the number and gestational ages of the babies to be aborted, the abortion methods to be used, and whether any of the abortions will take place at Planned Parenthood facilities.

Instead of providing specific answers, the FDA gave CNS News a statement promising that the agency is...
