Selling the body parts of murdered babies for scientific experiments sounds like something out of a horror movie… or a joint run by Dr. Joseph Mengele.
But in 2025, it’s a taxpayer funded practice!
Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) has just re-introduced a bill to finally end it for good. If passed, the Protecting Life and Integrity in Research Act (S.987) will ban the federal government from “conducting, funding, approving, or otherwise supporting any research involving human fetal tissue that is obtained pursuant to an induced abortion, and to prohibit the solicitation or knowing acquisition, receipt, or acceptance of a donation of such tissue.”
“There are ethical and scientifically valid ways to conduct fetal tissue research without relying on the body parts of aborted babies,” assures Hyde-Smith. She notes non-fetal cells were used to develop insulin for Diabetes and Herceptin for breast cancer.
Similarly, the senator emphasized that umbilical cord blood has treated thousands of people with blood disorders while “adult stem cells have saved the lives of over 1 million people worldwide, treating cancers, hematologic diseases and autoimmune disorders.”

But instead of considering these alternatives, the federal government forces hard working Americans to fork over millions of taxpayer dollars each year to further the “dehumanising practice” of what she calls “fetal tissue trafficking.”
The National Institutes of Health spent a whopping $53 million on human fetal tissue research in 2023 and expects to spend $55 million in 2025. Hyde-Smith’s bill would still let the federal government research tissue obtained after a miscarriage or stillbirth.
Its original co-sponsors include U.S. Senators James Risch (R-ID), James Lankford (R-OK), John Kennedy (R-LA), Josh Hawley (R-MO), Markwayne Mullin (R-ok, Steve Daines (R-MT), John Barrasso, M.D. (R-WY.), and Mike Lee (R-UT).
LifeNews reports Congressman Bob Onder, M.D. (R-MO) introduced a companion bill in the House, calling fetal tissue trafficking a “monstrous, barbaric practice from the start.”
“Every baby, even those lost to abortion, deserves to be treated with human decency and respect – not like science experiments,” he stated.
