Video Exposes Taxpayer-Funded Experimentation on Aborted Babies
Dr. Susan Berry16-20 minutes 5/4/2021
The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) Monday released a video (below) that asserts the National Institutes of Health (NIH) uses taxpayer funds to sponsor experimentation at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) on aborted babies obtained from a local Planned Parenthood facility.

“The University of Pittsburgh is a hub for some of the most barbaric experiments carried out on late-term aborted human infants,” the video’s narrator states, “experiments funded by the United States government, at the same time the university sponsors the local Planned Parenthood abortion business.”
CMP is the pro-life organization that, under project lead David Daleiden, conducted undercover investigations of Planned Parenthood’s alleged fetal tissue trafficking with biomedical procurement companies.
The video shows an image, published in 2020 by Pitt scientist Dr. Moses Bility and his colleagues, of humanized mouse and rat models. The narrator states the image “shows the scalps of five-month-old aborted babies grafted onto the backs of lab rats, growing the aborted babies’ hair on the rodents.”
The video then zooms in on the article by the Pitt scientists with the following description of the scalps highlighted: “full-thickness, human fetal skin was processed via removal of excess fat tissues attached to the subcutaneous layer of the skin.”
“How was this paid for?” the narrator asks in the video.
“With a nearly half a million-dollar research grant from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s NIAID [National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases] office at the NIH,” the narrator states.
The video then moves to a photo of a page from a 2012 journal article titled “Efficient Human Fetal/Liver Cell Isolation Protocol,” by Dr. Jorg Gerlach at Pitt’s McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
The video’s narrator states the protocol is “for harvesting the freshest, most pristine livers from five-month-old aborted babies in order to isolate massive numbers of stem cells for experimental transplantations into adults.”
The narrator states the next image is one of a “premature baby aborted alive via labor induction under surgical drapes with the umbilical cord off to one side as the baby is cut open to harvest the liver.”
“The Pitt scientists who invented this experiment received nearly $3 million from NIH,” the narrator adds.
The video then shows a diagram of NIH’s “All About Grants” podcasts which explains the agency’s grant application process, along with the crest for Pitt, and an image of a document titled “University of Pittsburgh as the GUDMAP [GenitoUrinary Development Molecular Anatomy Project] Tissue Hub and Collection Site.”
The narrator states Pitt received a multi-year $1.4 million grant from NIH making “Pitt a distribution hub for aborted fetal kidneys and other fetal body parts for NIH-funded projects across the country.”
The narrator then notes the projects presented in the video are “just a few of the recent fetal experimentation projects at Pitt,” and provides examples of how, over decades, Pitt researchers conducted experiments even on aborted babies delivered alive.
The video shows footage of what the narrator states are “experiments filmed in the 1950s by Pitt’s Dr. Davenport Hooker, who obtains live fetuses from abortions at Pitt’s hospital and tested their reflexes until they died.”
Next, the video moves to an image of a document appearing to be the testimony of a Pitt nurse, Mrs. Wilhamine Dick, who testified in 1972 before the Pennsylvania legislature.
“It was repulsive to watch live fetuses being packed in ice while still moving and trying to breathe, then being rushed to some laboratory,” the testimony in the video reads, “and hear a medical student later discuss the experience of examining various organs of a once-live baby.”
The video zooms in on this website focusing on Pitt’s Biospecimen Core (PBC). According to the site, the PBC:
“This isn’t surprising because CMP undercover investigators were told previously by Planned Parenthood Western Pennsylvania abortion doctors who were on staff at Pitt that they supply the university’s tissue bank,” the narrator states.
The video then moves to one of CMP’s undercover investigation videos in which an alleged Planned Parenthood abortionist states, after being asked if they participated in specimen donation, “There’s a tissue bank, um, at Pitt that we offer patients to donate to.”
“So, then why is the University of Pittsburgh telling news media ‘There is no procurement relationship for tissue with Planned Parenthood,’” the narrator asks as the video moves to a document with that sentence highlighted.
The video then shows an image of the website of Pitt’s Ryan Residency Program, which states Pitt’s Magee-Womens Hospital:
“She supplied the aborted fetuses to the criminal company DaVinci Biosciences, which admitted to illegally selling the fetal body parts and was shut down by local law enforcement,” the narrator continues.
In December 2017, DaVinci Biosciences and its sister company DV Biologics reached a $7.8 million settlement with the Orange County, California, district attorney’s office requiring them to permanently close their operations in the state, to admit liability, and to pay $195,000 in civil penalties.
The video provides additional examples of Planned Parenthood officials and abortionists with ties to Pitt.
The video then shows an image of page 20 of Pitt’s 2020 Department of OB/GYN Annual Report, containing the section titled “Outreach/contracted care.”
The document shows Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania is listed as a contracted care site for Pitt.
The video ends by drawing the following conclusions “just from the publicly available sources”:

The video zooms in on this website focusing on Pitt’s Biospecimen Core (PBC). According to the site, the PBC:
A section of the website titled “Prospective Tissue Collection and Banking” states:… provides central support for University of Pittsburgh research programs needing tissue materials for research from patients seen at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). The main objectives of the PBC are: (1) to provide a mechanism to simplify and streamline the process of research tissue accrual and disbursement, and (2) to provide efficient research pathology support services.
According to the video, “Two years ago, sources told CMP that Pittsburgh was one of the major hubs of the FBI’s investigation of Planned Parenthood’s involvement in the human trafficking of aborted fetuses.”We have developed an extensive infrastructure that positions us to obtain specimens for your research projects from surgical cases seen at the UPMC hospitals. Our staff members will work with you to determine your criteria and assist you to identify cases and obtain samples.
“This isn’t surprising because CMP undercover investigators were told previously by Planned Parenthood Western Pennsylvania abortion doctors who were on staff at Pitt that they supply the university’s tissue bank,” the narrator states.

“So, then why is the University of Pittsburgh telling news media ‘There is no procurement relationship for tissue with Planned Parenthood,’” the narrator asks as the video moves to a document with that sentence highlighted.
The video then shows an image of the website of Pitt’s Ryan Residency Program, which states Pitt’s Magee-Womens Hospital:
The website’s description continues:… remains a leader in family planning training with a dedicated family planning rotation since 2005 … The curriculum aims to cover a full spectrum of reproductive health care including complex contraception, pregnancy loss, and abortion with an emphasis on evidence-based practices and truly patient-centered counseling.
The video points out Dr. Jennefer Russo, an alumna of the Pitt abortion training program, is now vice president and medical director of Planned Parenthood Orange and San Bernardino counties.Residents work with specialists in multiple settings including the Magee Outpatient Clinic, the Center for Contraception and Family Planning at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, the operating room, and a freestanding abortion facility (Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania). Through these environments, residents gain an appreciation for complex and nuanced counseling regarding contraception and pregnancy options and improve procedural skills in ultrasonography, D&C and D&E procedures, and long-acting reversible contraception placement/removals.
“She supplied the aborted fetuses to the criminal company DaVinci Biosciences, which admitted to illegally selling the fetal body parts and was shut down by local law enforcement,” the narrator continues.
In December 2017, DaVinci Biosciences and its sister company DV Biologics reached a $7.8 million settlement with the Orange County, California, district attorney’s office requiring them to permanently close their operations in the state, to admit liability, and to pay $195,000 in civil penalties.

The document shows Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania is listed as a contracted care site for Pitt.
The video ends by drawing the following conclusions “just from the publicly available sources”:
- Planned Parenthood abortionists supply the aborted fetuses to Pitt
- Pitt uses its access to the fetuses to get major NIH grant money
- Pitt sends major kickbacks and medical resources back to Planned Parenthood
