White House: Biden ‘Respectfully Disagrees’ with Bishops on Fetal Tissue Research
Catholic News Agency ^ | 4/27/21

Posted on 04/27/2021 6:33:40 PM PDT by marshmallow

The White House press secretary said on Tuesday that President Biden “respectfully disagrees” with Catholic bishops on federally-funded fetal tissue research.

At Tuesday’s White House press briefing, EWTN News Nightly’s Owen Jensen asked press secretary Jen Psaki about the Biden administration’s recent decision to remove restrictions on federally-funded fetal tissue research.

“As you well know, the administration just lifted the ban on researchers using fetal tissue from elective abortions,” Jensen said. He cited a statement of the U.S. bishops’ conference that the decision to lift the ban and allow for taxpayer-funded research with aborted fetal tissue was “deeply offensive.”

“Look, I think the White House respectfully disagrees,” Psaki said in response. “And we believe that it’s important to invest in science and look for opportunities to cure diseases, and I think that’s what this is hopeful to do.”

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced on April 16 that it was reversing restrictions on research using fetal tissue and organs of aborted babies.

By repealing Trump-era policies, NIH would once again allow for fetal tissue research at NIH facilities. Furthermore, it said it would no longer require researchers at outside facilities seeking federal funding to first submit fetal tissue research proposals to a federal ethics advisory board.

Certain other restrictions, such as informed consent requirements and prohibitions on the unlawful sale of fetal tissue, remain in effect.

The term “abortion” has become a safe, clinical euphemism that pro-aborts can easily deflect with scripted and oily weasel-words. If we are going to speak out against something we need to lay it bare and call it what it is: in this case the brutal murder of an innocent baby in her mother’s womb— the very place that she should be safe and loved. Let them try to weasel-word a response to that.

So it’s okay to experiment on humans so long as they’re really small. God have mercy on us.

Isn’t the coldblooded murder of the unborn always “elective”? And while we’re on the subject, why were these fetal murders allowed during the covid lockdowns when elective surgery wasn’t allowed? I’m confused

The fetal tissue, to be useful, must be harvested from the still living aborted child is my understanding. Worse than theAztecs.

That's what I have read also.

During the voluntary abortions, the mad Mengele scientists are standing by reading to harvest the organs of still living babies.

And this ‘good Catholic man’ wants to protect abortions for the sake of those wanting to do research on killed children who are kept for that purpose much like we accused the Nazis of! What a phoney Joe Biden is.
