In a major win for the pro-life movement, the House Appropriations Committee approved language last week that prohibits any federal funds in the Fiscal Year 2027 Defense Appropriations bill from being used to conduct or support research involving human fetal tissue obtained from induced abortions.The provision directly targets the use of tissue from aborted babies in experiments funded by the Department of Defense.“None of the funds provided in this Act may be used to conduct or support research using human fetal tissue if such tissue is obtained pursuant to an induced abortion,” the bill text states.This development follows an investigation by White Coat Waste that exposed how the Pentagon had been awarding grants for disturbing animal experiments involving parts from aborted human fetuses.Those experiments included implanting fetal fingers, scalps, skin, organs, bone marrow, thymus, and liver tissue into mice and monkeys to create “humanized” animal models.On March 20, the four chairs of the House Pro-Life Caucus sent a formal letter to the leaders of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee urging them to include the language.The signers were Rep. Robert F. Onder, Jr., Rep. Kat Cammack, Rep. Christopher H. Smith, and Rep. Michelle Fischbach.The letter highlighted a specific Biden-era DOD grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison totaling $1,724,662. Part of that funding was sub-awarded to support research using fetal tissue obtained from aborted babies.The funding period was still active, raising concerns that similar research could continue.War Secretary Pete Hegseth Vows to Investigate Biden-Era Pentagon Funding for Gruesome Animal Testing Using Aborted Fetal Tissue/*!
