Pro-life groups laud Trump ethics board for rejecting fetal tissue research proposals - Christian Post
Pro-life groups praised the Trump administration this week after a federal ethics advisory board recommended against federal funding of fetal tissue research, saying tiny humans should not be aborted for exploitation.
"We applaud the Trump administration for convening the independent advisory board as established by statute," Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life, said in a statement, referring to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Fetal Tissue Research Advisory Board.
In its report on fetal tissue research, released this week, the board recommended that all but one of the grant proposals for federally-funded medical research using human fetal tissue donated after elective abortions be rejected.
The board was set up by the Trump administration last year to review applications for funding of such research conducted outside of NIH facilities. It recommended withholding federal funding from 13 out of 14 research proposals - through grants or contracts - involving the use of fetal tissue.
- Lord, we thank You for this moment of hope for the unborn in America. We pray fervently that You will begin to unravel the selfishness of the pro-abortion agenda. Bring conviction to the souls, and compassion to the hearts of those who have been involved in it.
- "As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting." (2 Corinthians 7:9)
