🧵Six years ago @daviddaleiden released his first video showing Planned Parenthood officials laughing as they shared how they make extra $$ by selling body parts of aborted babies.

But six years later, the trade in baby body parts continues 1/15

In 2019 alone, @NIH awarded $109 MILLION in taxpayer funds for extramural grants to 135 researchers at 68 academic orgs for experiments using fetal organs including eyes, brains, urinary tract tissue, intestines, hearts, gonads, livers, and thymuses from aborted babies 2/15

Those who support harvesting baby body parts for experiments claim the research shows lifesaving results. However this is a a fiction put forth to justify the grotesque practice. 3/15

One fetal tissue procurement consent form obtained from a Planned Parenthood facility even claimed that fetal tissue from abortion “has been used to treat and find a cure for such diseases as diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and AIDS.” 4/15

However NO life-saving treatments or cures have ever been developed that require the body parts of aborted babies. These falsehoods and many others are only deceptions to cover repulsive exploitation. 5/15

Below are just 8 examples of experiments done using tissues, organs and body parts from aborted babies: 6/15

1️⃣ Scalps from aborted babies were transplanted onto the backs of lab mice and rats. The aborted babies were gestational age of 18 to 20 weeks. The published results showed human hair growing from the aborted baby scalps in patches on the backs of the mice and rats. 7/15

2️⃣ Lung tissue from at least 12 aborted babies was transplanted onto the backs of mice to create “lung-only mice” in an attempt to make models to study COVID-19. The aborted babies were likely between 16 and 22 weeks of gestation. 8/15 dailysignal.com/2021/03/04/a-g…

3️⃣ 55 fetal kidneys from abortions from 17-18 weeks were transplanted into rats to test as a model for drug discovery. The research paper made a point of saying the rats were anesthetized for their transplant; no doubt the human donors were not. 9/15 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aj…

4️⃣ Aborted babies almost certainly born alive were used to extract liver cells for experiments. Researchers described in their published paper how aborted babies at a gestational age of 18-22 weeks were used to harvest fresh, pristine liver cells. 10/15 aasldpubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lt…

5️⃣ Between 1988 and 1994, roughly 140 Parkinson’s disease patients received fetal tissue (brain tissue from up to six fetuses per patient). 11/15 n.neurology.org/content/46/5/1…

6️⃣ Hands and feet of 35 aborted babies were collected and examined to study skin and fingerprint growth. The gestational ages ranged between 7-26 weeks. They made sure to compare the right hand with the right foot or the left hand with the left foot for each aborted baby. 12/15

7️⃣ Jaws were taken from 19 aborted babies ranging from 5–23 gestational weeks old. The jaws were processed and cut into sections to compare and contrast human teeth development at different fetal ages. 13/15 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

8️⃣ In several different studies, male and female internal and external urogenital organs were collected from aborted babies ranging from 5-22 weeks old. The tissues were imaged as whole organs or cut into pieces... 14/15

The reality is that experiments using baby body parts and fetal tissue represent only poor ethics but also poor science, and degrade both human dignity and the integrity of science. 15/15
