FOIA DOCUMENTS CONFIRM FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATION OF ABORTED BABY ORGAN HARVESTING AT UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH NIH Documents Released Under FOIA Show HHS Office of Inspector General Agents Issued Subpoena to Pitt Concerning Aborted Fetal Kidney Harvesting Program Contact: David Daleiden, media@centerformedicalprogress.org, 949.734.0859 WASHINGTON, D.C. Dec. 12—Newly released FOIA documents confirm the existence of a federal law enforcement investigation of an NIH-funded program at the University of Pittsburgh that harvested fetal kidneys from late-term abortions performed by Planned Parenthood doctors. The documents include email exchanges from late 2021 and early 2022 between NIH, the University’s Senior Vice Chancellor for Research, and an HHS Office of Inspector General agent, which reference a subpoena issued by OIG to investigate fetal organ harvesting in the NIH-funded “GUDMAP” program at Pitt. In the emails, in September 2021, NIH asks Pitt for further information about the “fetal tissue collection procedures associated with the GenitoUrinary Development Molecular Anatomy Project (GUDMAP) Tissue Hub and Collection Site at the University of Pittsburgh.” On November 5, 2021, Pitt writes back to NIH:: “With regard to your request for documentation/information, please be aware that we received a subpoena from HHS OIG requesting similar documentation on October 28, 2021.” On November 10, 2021, an OIG agent copies NIH on an email titled, “OIG Subpoena – Health Sciences Tissue Bank” and writes: “As far as the OIG subpoena production, please respond in accordance with the date on the subpoena”. The emails confirm for the first time the existence of a federal law enforcement investigation of the Planned Parenthood-assisted aborted human fetal tissue transfers at the University of Pittsburgh. The Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General describes itself as “the world’s premiere health care law enforcement agency” which “conducts criminal, civil, and administrative investigations of fraud and misconduct related to HHS programs” and whose agents have the authority “to make arrests, conduct surveillance, serve search warrants, seize evidence, and testify in State and Federal proceedings.” NIH produced the emails earlier this year in response to a FOIA request by Judicial Watch and The Center for Medical Progress. In August 2021, CMP reported on disturbing statements in Pitt’s grant application to be the fetal tissue “distribution hub” for the GUDMAP program, in which Pitt advertised to NIH that it would use labor induction abortions to harvest fetal kidneys, record the time the kidneys were disconnected from blood supply and “minimize” this “warm ischemic time”, and disproportionately target Black and minority patients for this live-abortion harvesting. Planned Parenthood officials run the abortion services in the University of Pittsburgh’s health system, and provide the abortions to supply fetuses for the Health Sciences Tissue Bank at Pitt. Further information about the operations of the Pittsburgh GUDMAP program continues to surface in CMP’s ongoing FOIA requests with Judicial Watch. In litigation with NIH over the documents, the government has produced the un-redacted version of the scientific references cited in Pitt’s grant application for the GUDMAP program. The references for Pitt’s advertisement “Ischemia time is minimized” are two scientific papers that describe minimizing ischemia time by harvesting tissue samples from donors who are still alive, rather than from organs that have already been cut out of the body. Furthermore, the judge in the FOIA case found, based on admissions submitted by the NIH itself, that the redactions in the documents are meant to protect Pitt’s “commercial interest” and “commercial fortunes” in harvesting aborted fetal organs. CMP founder and president David Daleiden notes, “Pitt’s own statements indicating its Planned Parenthood partners use criminal partial-birth abortions to harvest fetal organs to sell for NIH grant money are serious enough that a federal law enforcement agency opened a formal investigation following CMP’s reporting. Planned Parenthood has cloaked its human atrocities committed against vulnerable mothers and infants under its ‘research’ program for decades—it is time for justice under the law for every level of the taxpayer-funded enterprise of selling aborted baby body parts.” ### (C) 2023 The Center for Medical Progress.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD SELLS BABY PARTS FOR “VALUABLE CONSIDERATION” OF OWNING UNIVERSITY “INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY”, NEW DOCUMENTS REVEAL Contact: David Daleiden, media@centerformedicalprogress.org, 949.734.0859 SAN DIEGO, March 5—Never-before-seen documents released under a public records request show Planned Parenthood transferring “proprietary” aborted fetal body parts to UC San Diego explicitly for “valuable consideration”—a violation of federal law—in exchange for ownership of the university’s “patents” and “intellectual property” developed by experimenting with them. The incriminating terms of this relationship are spelled out in a “Biological Materials Transfer Agreement” (MTA) contract between Planned Parenthood of San Diego (PPSD) and UC San Diego. The contract, made for “valuable consideration”, grants UCSD “access” to “fetal and placental tissue, which are proprietary materials of PPSD”. The parties agree that in granting “access” to the “proprietary” aborted fetal body parts, “PPSD shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Material, including but not limited to all right, title, and interest in patents and patent applications and other intellectual property rights relating to the Material”. The transfer of any aborted human fetal tissue for “valuable consideration” is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2). Public databases show UC San Diego professors have developed numerous patents, held by the University of California, using aborted fetal body parts. The University of California’s total patent invention revenue for 2021-2022 was over $127 million. The contract, originally signed in 2009, was updated to reflect PPSD’s name change to “Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest” in 2014, with the parties specifying, “All other terms and conditions of the Agreement will remain the same and shall continue in full force and effect.” UCSD emails from 2017 reference the MTA contract while updating an additional contract for clinical personnel, and in emails from late 2020, UCSD seeks to be “especially careful” about “any rights” providers of fetal tissue “retain” in the material. One email thread between Planned Parenthood and UCSD is particularly revealing: Planned Parenthood emails UCSD to set up a quarterly “Planned Parenthood/UCSD Research Collaboration Meeting”, and the parties plan to discuss “payment” to Planned Parenthood’s abortion training program as part of the fetal tissue research meeting. UCSD writes that as part of the meeting, “we will have results to share on samples recently collected, and will also likely have more to discuss re: the [REDACTED] fellowship.” Planned Parenthood replies there are “[n]o current issues with the collection program”, but they “have some questions about payment to the residency program”. Planned Parenthood operates the Ryan Residency Training Program and Fellowship in Complex Family Planning at UC San Diego and other taxpayer-funded universities around the country where the abortion business supplies fetal body parts. Documents produced under the public records request also include a $10,000 contribution from UC San Diego to Planned Parenthood at a 2021 fundraising event, and a Planned Parenthood Federation of America national Research Department registration form for the fetal body parts harvesting in San Diego. The Center for Medical Progress, responsible for the 2015 undercover video series reporting on Planned Parenthood’s harvesting and sale of aborted fetal body parts, obtained the documents only after filing a public records lawsuit against the University. Last year, CMP reported on FOIA records confirming the existence of a federal law enforcement investigation by the HHS Office of Inspector General of the NIH-funded fetal tissue bank at the University of Pittsburgh, which is supplied by Planned Parenthood abortion doctors. “This new evidence shows Planned Parenthood sells late-term aborted baby body parts in violation of federal law, for far more money than has ever been discussed before,” states David Daleiden, founder and president of The Center for Medical Progress. “Planned Parenthood’s national headquarters knew about and approved these sales of aborted babies for valuable consideration as part of government-funded research grants. The federal OIG investigation of fetal trafficking in Pittsburgh must be expanded to include Planned Parenthood’s activities in San Diego and every other location where this $1.8 billion abortion business supplies aborted babies for taxpayer-funded experiments. The highest levels of Planned Parenthood leadership must answer under oath for what we now know is the organization’s participation in government-sponsored trafficking of late-term aborted babies.” ### Watch CMP’s new video report about the public records findings here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ3uURP604s Learn more about CMP at www.centerformedicalprogress.org

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CALIFORNIA ABORTION PROVIDER OPPOSES PROP 1 “MONSTROSITY” FOR “KILLING VIABLE, HEALTHY BABIES” Pro-Choice Dr. Forrest O. Smith, OB/GYN and Abortion Provider for 53 Years, Opposes Proposition 1 For Legalizing Abortions of Viable, Healthy Babies Up To Birth in New Ad Contact: David Daleiden, media@centerformedicalprogress.org, 949.734.0859 IRVINE, Nov. 1—Dr. Forrest O. Smith, a pro-choice OB/GYN and the longest-continuously practicing abortion provider in America, urges Californians to vote No on Proposition 1 in a new ad series by The Center for Medical Progress. Proposition 1 will overrule existing California abortion laws to expand late-term abortions on healthy, viable babies through a full 9 months of pregnancy. In the full version of the advertisement, pro-choice Dr. Smith explains that existing California law already “guarantees the right to abortion but only to the age of fetal viability, which means the age at which the baby can live outside of the mother’s body.” Dr. Smith urges Californians to vote No on Proposition 1 because, “Proposition 1 is really just the same 2003 law, but with the fetal viability clause eliminated. If Proposition 1 is put in our state constitution, abortion doctors will have a right to legally kill viable and healthy babies up to the moment of birth.” The existing California Reproductive Privacy Act of 2003 limits abortion to “before the viability of the fetus.” The text of Proposition 1, however, embeds a “fundamental right to choose to have an abortion” without any limits or qualifications about viability of the fetus. “No matter how you feel about abortion, whether you are a pro-lifer or a pro-choicer, what Proposition 1 will do is legalize the killing of viable, healthy babies, and that is the moral monstrosity that we cannot allow into our state constitution. Please join me in voting No on Proposition 1 on November 8th,” Dr. Smith concludes. Dr. Smith began providing abortions during his residency at Duke University in 1970, and has been in abortion practice continuously since then, providing OB/GYN and abortion care in California for the past several decades. Dr. Smith has also served as a medical expert for CMP, providing testimony in lawsuits by Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation. “Proposition 1’s taxpayer-funded expansion of late-term abortion on healthy, viable infants, through a full nine months of pregnancy, is so extreme that even committed California abortion providers are coming out against it,” notes David Daleiden, founder and president of The Center for Medical Progress. “Through strategic digital media placements, we hope to reach up to 1 million Californians by election day with the message that Proposition 1 goes too far.” CMP is also running ads with its undercover reporting on the illegal sale of fetal body parts in California, urging Californians to vote No on Proposition 1’s extreme taxpayer-funded expansion of late-term abortion. ### Watch the advertisements here: Dr. Smith full ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jran-vFOSxg Dr. Smith short ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPHgYQd0drY CMP short ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtC-7WWcw-c Learn more about CMP here: centerformedicalprogress.org

My name is David Daleiden. I’m the founder and president of The Center for Medical Progress, a nonprofit investigative journalism organization that focuses on bioethical issues that impact human dignity, with a special focus on the trafficking and harvesting of aborted babies for experimentation. I want to acknowledge that some of the many people viewing this hearing may have had a personal experience with abortion. And to express my concern that the taxpayer-funded abortion industry should never be in a position to exploit the circumstances that may have led you to have that experience. And also to note that what we will discuss today may be graphic. My organization is responsible for the series of undercover video reports in 2015 that caught Planned Parenthood’s top-level leadership callously negotiating the harvesting and sale of aborted baby body parts. [I’d like to play some of that footage now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2T5jD5Qytw] My undercover work in the abortion industry and subsequent investigative reporting has shown me a very dark and broken side of humanity. I’ve watched the handling of dismembered babies inside some of the biggest Planned Parenthood abortion centers in the country, while their “research” officials discussed how to disguise the sales. I’ve met with dozens of Planned Parenthood’s top abortion providers at their lavish commercial abortion trade shows—sponsored by companies buying baby parts. At these trade shows, I consumed far more alcoholic beverages with abortion providers than my liver would like to admit, as they talked about the harvesting and sale of aborted baby livers. Sometimes, I actually saw them start to tear up describing the tiny brains and hearts and feet of premature babies that they dismember and brutalize before selling them, only to then steel themselves and shake it off, as they tried to suppress the heresy of human feelings that the dogma of industrial-scale abortion cannot allow. I’ll never forget when early on in my research, a whistleblower from fetal body parts company StemExpress, told me about the biggest liver her lab had ever sold—from a baby aborted at 5 months at the Planned Parenthood in Sacramento, CA. They took the stem cells from the liver, put them in a vial, and sold them for $17,000 to another taxpayer-funded laboratory. Planned Parenthood says 75% of abortions take place because of financial problems. $17,000 might have been somebody’s rent money for the next year. But for the abortion clinics selling and the government-funded laboratories buying, that 5-month-old baby was worth more dead than alive. I’ve also witnessed the apparent apathy of too many public officials in the face of such barbarism. It led one of my undercover investigators to remark in exasperation, “If we asked StemExpress to ship a baby’s head to the sheriff’s doorstep, would they care more then?” That was an ethical line I did not feel like we could cross. I wish the taxpayer-funded clinics and laboratories involved shared the same views. Recent government-sponsored experiments on aborted baby parts involve stitching the scalps of 5-month-old aborted babies onto lab rats, to keep the baby hair growing on the rodents. This was done at the University of Pittsburgh to develop a new experimental platform to sell to Big Pharma. FOIA documents we recently reported on show the fetal tissue bank at Pitt is under federal law enforcement investigation by the HHS-Office of Inspector General. But since Congress requested this investigation 3 years ago, there has been no update from the OIG. But our investigative reporting is ongoing. Two weeks ago, we broke the story about a contract Planned Parenthood has with the University of California, where Planned Parenthood and UC San Diego agree for Planned Parenthood to sell its “proprietary” aborted fetuses in exchange for the “valuable consideration” of ownership of the patents and intellectual property the university develops using them, which could be worth millions of dollars in ongoing royalties.

David Daleiden, President of the Center for Medical Progress, testified on May 4th, 2020 about unethical and potentially illegal fetal experimentation practices at the University of Pittsburgh. Transcript: MR. DALEIDEN: "Madam Chair, Ranking Member Frankel, distinguished Committee Members, thank you for the opportunity to testify before you this morning. I'm David Daleiden, and I'm the head of the Center for Medical Progress, which is a citizen journalism organization that monitors and reports on bioethical issues that impact human dignity. We're especially concerned about the exploitation of the vulnerable and government-sponsored experiments on human fetuses and human infants and their parents who are vulnerable to abortion. Under my leadership, CMP conducted a multi-year undercover video investigation of the illegal trafficking of aborted fetuses and sale of their body parts, and we began releasing the results of that in 2015. Our reporting shut down two companies that admitted illegally selling body parts from abortions at Planned Parenthood in southern California, and the local district attorney thanked us for prompting that successful case. It's been 10 years now since the horrific crimes of Dr. Kermit Gosnell were revealed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Dr. Gosnell was delivering late-term fetuses alive and killing them by snipping their necks with surgical scissors. Dr. Gosnell sometimes kept the babies' feet as souvenirs. The horrors of the Kermit Gosnell case were able to take place and continue for so long because they were enabled by Commonwealth officials who preferred secrecy to public accountability in Pennsylvania's abortion industry. Sadly, as we've heard through some of the testimony already this morning, it's a matter of public record that there are horrific abuses of aborted infants taking place on the other side of Pennsylvania through the extensive fetal experimentation programs at the taxpayer-funded University of Pittsburgh. There were a lot of obfuscations and misrepresentations from the Pitt testimony earlier today, which I think is something you would expect when they send a new guy who's only been there for five months to talk about research that he's not actually involved in, so I'm going to try to address some of those and correct the record a little bit. And so in a recent study, as we've heard, Pitt scientists describe scalping five-month-old aborted babies and grafting their scalps onto the backs of lab rats to keep them growing -- yes, lab rats. If you actually look at the published paper on the Nature scientific reports website, they use both rats and mice in the study. In the study, you can see the pictures of little baby scalps growing tiny baby hairs on the backs of lab rats and lab mice. Each one of those scalps growing baby hair on a rat represents a little Pennsylvania baby who would have grown those little hairs on their head if they had not been killed by abortion for experiments with rodents. Starting in 2016, Pitt received a $1.4 million grant from the NIH to become the distribution hub for aborted fetal kidneys and bladders and other organs in the NIH's GenitoUrinary Development mapping Atlas Program. Pitt's grant application for this grant from the NIH states that the university has a unique access to a large number of high-quality aborted fetuses and can, "ramp up delivery" of aborted fetal body parts across the country. And two years ago, I published an op-ed exposing the live fetal liver harvesting of Pitt's Dr. Jorg Gerlach, a stem cell scientist in Pitt's McGowan Regenerative Medicine Institute. Dr. Gerlach's protocol calls for aborting five-month-old fetuses alive via labor induction in order to deliver the baby whole, then wash the baby, place the baby on a surgical tray, and cut the baby open to harvest his or her liver as fresh and clean as possible. This is not just for liver cultures. This is for liver transplants Dr. Gerlach's team boasts in their published work that this way they can harvest an unprecedentedly massive number of stem cells from the fetal liver for use in experimental transplants into adults. Dr. Gerlach's protocol describes this liver harvesting as a "in vivo procedure," meaning in the living body and requires the harvesting to take place immediately after the baby's umbilical cord has been cut. Pitt has tried to say that this is over, that it was only going on in Italy, not in the United States. There's serious reasons to doubt the veracity of those statements from the University of Pittsburgh and reasons to be very concerned that it's still going on in the United States. Dr. Gerlach and his team published a study as recently as 2019, where they described obtaining whole livers in Pittsburgh from Pittsburgh abortion providers, and they described obtaining that same unprecedentedly large number of stem cells, about 2 billion liver cells per individual fetal liver..." #PPSellsBabyParts

David Daleiden appeared on Tipping Point with Kara McKinney to discuss why a Pitt-linked, organ harvesting company was spotted outside of a Planned Parenthood in Pittsburgh : TRANSCRIPT: Kara: What is a vehicle from a tissue procurement company linked to the University of Pittsburgh doing outside a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic with coolers, especially after the university swore under oath that it does not harvest fetal organs from Planned Parenthood. That's what David Daleiden, investigative journalist and president of the Center for Medical Progress, wants to know after those images were captured by a pro-life advocate with the organization 40 Days for Life in Pittsburgh. We'll talk to the woman who took the video in just a moment. But for now, we have David Daleiden on the line. David, thanks for being here tonight. Hey, Kyra, wonderful to be with you. Great. So as you note, the University of Pittsburgh swore under oath that it does not harvest fetal organs from Planned Parenthood. So can you catch our viewers up to speed as to why the university was made to go under oath in the first place and kind of the context for the scene that we're seeing? David: Sure. So let me let me set it up for you. About a year just about a year ago last year in May, the University of Pittsburgh was called to testify under oath at a legislative hearing that the Pennsylvania House of Representative House of Representatives Health Committee was having in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I testified under oath at that hearing as well about my findings so far. And Center for Medical Progress is investigative research and investigative reporting about fetal experimentation sponsored by taxpayers, sponsored by the federal government. That's been happening at the University of Pittsburgh for decades at this point. At that hearing, the University of Pittsburgh's representative swore under oath, swear to tell the truth, and testified that the University of Pittsburgh was not harvesting aborted fetuses from Planned Parenthood in downtown Pittsburgh. Now, just last week, witnesses and advocates outside of the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in downtown Pittsburgh photographed and videotaped a University of Pittsburgh-linked organ harvesting company, CORE, parked in the front driveway of the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic, with the Corps representative carrying out specimen bags, containing specimen tubes and storing them in a cooler in the back of the CORE vehicle. So this is a huge question. If they're not harvesting aborted fetal organs at the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Pittsburgh, what is Pitt's organ harvesting company doing parked in the driveway with coolers? Kara: And when we talk about these experiments, I mean, these are very gruesome experiments. They were almost Frankenstein esque. We're talking these aborted babies. Sometimes their scalps were being taken and were being transplanted onto lab mice. Can you explain for us some of the experimentation going on? And like you said, I think it was under 40 that some of this taxpayer money was going to them. David: Exactly. It looks clear that the University of Pittsburgh lied under oath at the legislative hearing in Pennsylvania a year ago. So then the next question is, why did they feel the need to lie? Well, probably because the University of Pittsburgh has been the hub for some of the most barbaric experiments being done on aborted children sponsored by the federal government, paid for with taxpayer dollars for decades. And just a few examples of these. As you mentioned, the infamous scalping study where the scalps of aborted babies, by the way, intact scalps. So the skulls, the heads of the babies would have to be intact when they were ripped out of the womb and then scalped for this for this organ harvesting experiment where they took where pit scientists took the scalps, stitched them onto lab rats, to keep them growing, to do different kinds of drug testing on this was funded by a grant from Dr. Fauci's agency at the NIH.

MEDIA ADVISORY: New Video From The Center for Medical Progress Explains Why Supreme Court Must Uphold State Abortion Limits Contact: David Daleiden, media@centerformedicalprogress.org, 949.734.0859 This week, The Center for Medical Progress released a new video about the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson case on Mississippi’s 15-week abortion limit, explaining why the Court must uphold state abortion limits. The video is based on the amicus curiae brief that CMP and its founder David Daleiden wrote and filed in the case, and highlights the disturbing facts from CMP’s undercover videos and investigative reporting on the trafficking of aborted infants, to argue: “CMP’s undercover videos make this case simple—if a baby is old enough to be trafficked for body parts, he or she should be old enough to be protected from abortion by a state law.” The new video also examines the tragic and lethal consequences that unlimited, legalized abortion has brought to American communities, such as the demand for late-term fetal organs, racist quotas for harvesting aborted fetuses for experiments, and the enabling of infanticide by pro-abortion government policies as in the Kermit Gosnell case. CMP’s founder and president David Daleiden notes, “Top abortion industry leaders caught on undercover video admit in their own words that the babies in the womb whose human vulnerability is now before the Supreme Court are the most at risk for organ trafficking for experiments. There is only one answer the Supreme Court can give in the Dobbs case, which is to recognize the obvious, overriding constitutional interests the people of this country have in protecting infants in the womb from lethal abortion. The discriminatory, unequal, and violent treatment the Court once authorized toward so-called ‘pre-viability’ human infants has led to tragic and lethal consequences for our communities, and it is totally inconsistent with who we are supposed to be as a country. Now at last is the time for a new and more humane way forward.” ### Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n96f2swYCCk Donate to our work: https://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/donate/ Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/centerformedicalprogress @centerformedicalprogress Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/centerformedicalprogress/ @centerformedicalprogress Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CtrMedProgress @CtrMedProgress Follow us on Parler: https://parler.com/#/user/centerformedicalprogress Subscribe to our Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/centerformedicalprogress

During CMP's roundtable discussion last week with Pennsylvania Family Council, David Daleiden denounced Pitt's horrific fetal experimentation : "There's no way to understand [Pitt's] statements other than this is either clear, classic cases of partial birth abortion or this is just straight up infanticide."
