View More'American Horror Story': Memos show NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH paid university to deliver fetuses intact, remove organs Brag about minimizing "warm ischemic time" suggests quick turnaround between abortion and collection, Judicial Watch says. The National Institutes of Health approved a $3.2 million grant to the University of Pittsburgh that involved inducing labor on full-term pregnant women and quickly removing organs from intact fetuses for its tissue bank, according to newly released public records. The 2015 grant application also promised about half the fetuses whose organs were removed would be nonwhite, including a quarter black. Judicial Watch sued NIH on behalf of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP) following "inexplicable delays" by the agency in responding to the pro-life group's Freedom of Information Act request for the grant applications for Pitt's proposed "tissue hub and collection site," CMP said Tuesday. The two groups posted hundreds of pages, some fully redacted, they received from NIH, with several posted individually to highlight specific portions of the program. CMP's posted records are about 70 pages longer than Judicial Watch's because the former includes "some non-Pittsburgh documents in the NIH production itself," an unnamed CMP spokesperson wrote in an email. While often written in medical jargon, the records make clear that Pitt promised NIH it could obtain "very high quality tissue and biological specimens" from at least five fetuses a week, ages 6 to 42 weeks. It was in the process of altering its Institutional Review Board and autopsy consent forms to permit collection of aborted fetuses older than 24 weeks. The university was seeking to become the hub and distribution site for the human spinoff of the GenitoUrinary Development Molecular Anatomy Project (GUDMAP), which had successfully mapped mice. "Congenital diseases of the genitourinary tract (kidneys, bladder, ureter, urethra etc.) are a leading cause of organ failure carrying with it an increased risk of death, and are a growing public health burden," the abstract says. https://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v-hhs-nih-july-2021-records-00642/
