Pennsylvania House Republicans have put a condition on providing funding for four universities: University of Pittsburgh, Penn State University, Temple University, and Lincoln University must certify that they are not engaging in research or experimentation using fetal tissue obtained from elective abortions.
The University of Pittsburgh, commonly known as “Pitt,” attracted criticism in 2021 when the public became aware that the school uses tissue from aborted human babies in its research. A 2020 article in the journal “Nature” detailed, in words and photos, how Pitt researchers grafted scalps of human babies onto the backs of lab rats and mice and grew patches of hair.
