"This is absolutely despicable that tax-payer dollars are funding this. It's disgusting that people in the federal government have known about this since 2015." - David Daleiden on Tipping Point on OAN about University of Pittsburgh's disturbing National Institutes of Health (NIH) application for fetal experimentation on aborted baby body parts.

John Steigerwald: Who at Pitt is admitting that they are taking kidneys from unborn babies whose hearts are still beating? David Daleiden: "Sure, so this is a statement that was released to news media by the vice chancellor of communications at the University of Pittsburgh. This is Pitt trying to explain themselves after my organization, the Center for Medical Progress, and the organization, Judicial Watch... we were able to obtain from a Freedom of Information Act request of the National Institutes of Health the original grant application that the University of Pittsburgh submitted for tax-payer funding to run what they were describing as a "distribution hub" for late-term aborted baby body parts, specifically for kidneys and bladders and other organs from the genital urinary system. And in that grant application, Pitt advertised to the NIH as part of why Pitt would be such a great location to run this mass distribution hub for baby body parts - they said the reason you should choose Pitt is because we will use labor induction abortion as one of our procedures for obtaining fetal tissue... then they also said that at Pitt they would take affirmative steps to minimize the ischemia time of all of the body parts that they were harvesting... Now ischemia is the loss of blood supply to an organ... And when asked, Pitt said... ischemia means the time after the tissue collection procedure is completed... so if the kidneys aren't losing their blood flow until after they cut them out, that means that they were connected to circulation and there was blood flow before they were doing the harvesting procedure. So that means that the hearts of these infants were beating while they were delivered... so these were either partial birth abortions or straight up infanticide happening at Pittsburgh..."

Newly-Released Public FOIA Records Obtained by The Center for Medical Progress Indicate Organ Harvesting from Aborted Infants Delivered Alive, Targeted by Race PITTSBURGH, —Judicial Watch and The Center for Medical Progress announced that they have received disturbing public records from the NIH about government-sponsored fetal experimentation at the University of Pittsburgh, which describe “minimiz[ing]” the “warm ischemic time,” or time without blood flow, of aborted fetal organs and targeting pregnant women and fetuses based on race. The records were produced by NIH in response to a FOIA request submitted by CMP over a year ago and a federal lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch on behalf of CMP after NIH’s inexplicable delays. The documents include the University of Pittsburgh’s original NIH grant application in 2015 to be the fetal tissue distribution hub for the GenitoUrinary Developmental Mapping Atlas Program, or GUDMAP, project. In the $3 million grant application, Pitt proposes that its existing fetal tissue collections “can be significantly ramped up” (pg. 7 of grant application) to supply GUDMAP project researchers across the country with aborted fetal kidneys, bladders, and other organs and body parts from healthy fetuses aborted up to 6 months old. Pitt advertises several points to NIH for why Pitt will be the best location for a “distribution hub” for supplying large numbers of aborted fetal body parts to NIH researchers, focusing on Pitt’s “over 18 years of experience” collecting body parts from aborted babies. Chillingly, Pitt announces under point number 5, “Ischemia time is minimized”: “We record the warm ischemic time on our samples and take steps to keep it at a minimum to ensure the highest quality biological specimens. We get feedback from our users and utilize this feedback to tailor our collection processes on a case-by-case basis to maximize the needs of investigators.” (pg. 62). Later in the application, Pitt describes “labor induction” as a “procedure that will be used to obtain the tissue” (pg. 73). Donate to our work: https://cmp.org/donate/

In a statement to news media today, the University of Pittsburgh admitted that “ischemia time” in its NIH grant application for the GUDMAP aborted fetal kidney harvesting program “refers to the time after the tissue collection procedure”. From this afternoon’s Fox News article, “Millions in federal money flowed to fetal tissue bank that collected fetal ‘heart, gonads, legs, brain’: report”: “Ischemia time, he said “refers to the time after the tissue collection procedure” https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pitt... Ischemia starts when the organ (the kidneys primarily in Pitt’s GUDMAP project) is cut off from blood circulation. The NIH defines ischemia as “lack of blood supply to a part of the body.” The University states the fetal organs do not undergo ischemia—lose their blood supply—until “after the tissue collection procedure”. This means the organs are still receiving blood supply from the fetal heartbeat during the “tissue collection”. David Daleiden, founder and president of The Center for Medical Progress, notes: “Pitt is now admitting to news media that the aborted babies are still alive at the time their kidneys are cut out for NIH grant money. Pitt’s grant application for GUDMAP advertised this to the federal government and that labor induction abortions, where the baby is pushed out of the mother whole, would be ‘used to obtain the tissue.’ The plain meaning of the GUDMAP grant application, and the University of Pittsburgh’s statement today explaining it, is that Pitt and the Planned Parenthood abortion providers responsible for its ‘research’ abortions are allowing babies, some of the age of viability, to be delivered alive, and then killing them by cutting their kidneys out.” Daleiden continues: “If Bill Barr knew about this as Attorney General and did nothing, he should be impeached and hauled before Congress to explain himself. Merrick Garland even promised the Senate Judiciary Committee he would make decisions about fetal trafficking prosecutions based on the facts and the law. The fact pattern here in Pittsburgh and elsewhere demands that this Kermit Gosnell-like activity be brought to justice under the law. Dr. Anthony Fauci, whose NIAID office funds nearly 60% of NIH-sponsored fetal experimentation, was recently grilled by Senator Rand Paul about unethical government-sponsored gain-of-function experiments. The Senate Judiciary Committee should call Barr, Garland, FBI Director Wray, NIH Director Collins, Fauci, and representatives of Pitt and Planned Parenthood to face the same imperative scrutiny for the enabling of partial-birth abortions and infanticide in the government-sponsored human trafficking of aborted infants.”

Pro-Life MOMENTUM: Because of CMP's undercover reporting, Planned Parenthood baby parts companies, DaVinci Biosciences and Novogenics Labs, shut down. DaVinci companies admitted guilt for illegally selling fetal body parts from abortions at Planned Parenthood of OCSBC and law enforcement credited are reporting. support our work as we continue to investigate: https://www.CMP.org/donate

CENSORSHIP: Judge Orrick, who founded a Planned Parenthood clinic, gave @PPact and @NatAbortionFed a federal injunction to censor the video evidence and shield PP from accountability and incrimination. Help us fight to release this censored footage: http://www.cmp.org/donate

A year after CMP released undercover footage exposing Planned Parenthood, PP's greatest ally, then-attorney general, @KamalaHarris, ordered a political raid on the home of CMP founder, David Daleiden, to seize the footage that revealed the inconvenient truth - Planned Parenthood sells baby parts. Help CMP release more footage: https://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/donate/

Six years ago, CMP investigators caught Planned Parenthood on camera discussing baby body part sales. Now, CMP is fighting harder than ever to release more and more footage to expose the truth.

Then they're talking about whether to by Lamborghinis - 'I want a Lamborghini' - then they're talking about how they do it so that they don't ruin the specimens and crushing this part of the baby. 'We've been very good at getting heart, lungs, liver... basically, crush below, I'm gonna crush above, and I'm gonna see if I can get it all intact.'"
