WHAT IS THE GREATEST
EVIL IN AMERICA?
FETAL ORGAN HARVESTING
Abortion providers cooperating with universities and laboratories to provide cells, tissues, organs, or even whole fetuses for the purpose of using them to conduct research experiments.
WHO DOES IT?
Universities, hospitals, and abortion facilities around the country are involved in a fetal organ harvesting network. This includes University of Pittsburgh, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Texas Med BR Galveston, University of California San Francisco, University of Washington, and many others.
WHY DO WE OPPOSE IT?
Over the last 100 years we have seen a radical shift in medical ethics. A case study being the Hippocratic oath, in 2011 only 2% of graduating medical students took the oath. In its place is left moral relativism, having dangerous implications for patients.
Whether you agree with the shift away from the Chrsitian medical ethics historically held in the United States, dissenters have failed to replace this system with a new one. This leaves groups, already legally vulnerable, at risk of medical abuse and exploitation. The preeminent example being unborn children. In 1964 unborn children were removed from the Hippocratic oath just 6 years before their legal personhood was first rolled back in New York state.
The practice of fetal organ harvesting necessitates doctors ending the lives of prenates. Most fetal research exempts children who died of natural causes, or due to a medical emergency because of the high likelihood that those children may have genetic abnormalities that could disrupt research outcomes.
BORN ALIVE.
Abortion extremism’s influence in America emanates from one of the most prestigious institutions in California, the University of California, San Francisco.
FACT: UCSF is the late-term abortion training capital of the U.S.
There are over 100 active abortion training programs across the country run and funded by UCSF through the Kenneth J. Ryan Residency and Fellowship in Family Planning. This training includes abortions done after viability (21 weeks gestation). The Ryan Residency has trained more than 2,750 ob-gyns currently practicing in America today. The director of UCSF’s Women’s Options Center and former Chief of Obstetrics at General Hospital, Eleanor Drey, has trained and performed abortions there for 19 years. Her stated goal is to “maintain and increase the number of abortions” UCSF provides in order to increase the number of residents and students they train. UCSF abortionist assistant, RN, and professor, Monica McLemore, ironically advocates for the care of premature newborns—should they be lucky enough to be “wanted.”
FACT: UCSF is the most politically involved medical institution on the issue of abortion worldwide
All of UCSF’s abortion initiatives take place under the banner of The Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health. Making abortion a universal, routine part of obstetrics and gynecology training is one of their stated goals. Political advocacy is also incorporated at all levels in the center—from the curriculum of their students to the regular work of its professors and leaders. Director Jody Steinauer is a UCSF grad, the founder of Med Students for Choice, and abortionist at UCSF who has been a longtime abortion apologist for the institution. Daniel Grossman, the director of the Bixby Center program Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH), is also a practicing abortionist, ongoing abortion rights activist, and Facebook “fact checker.” Grossman led the way in forcing every public university in California to provide first trimester abortions on campus.
FACT: Billionaire Warren Buffet has been funding UCSF abortion programs for decades
Although it has been historically hard to trace exactly which UCSF initiatives the Susan T. Buffett Foundation has funded, it was confirmed by the University of California in 2018 that Buffett gave $52 million to the Ryan Residency Program between 2012 and 2017 alone! Tax records show that he has been funding the Bixby Center—formerly called the Center for Reproductive Health Research & Policy—as early as 2001 and a document on the work of Professor McLemore released last year lists several abortion initiatives he has had a hand in. Buffett also heavily funded the development of RU-486, the abortion pill, which included clinical trials at UCSF.
The Buffett Foundation’s current director of US programs, Tracy Weitz, is also the founding director of the Bixby Center’s ANSIRH program. These ties run deep.
FACT: UCSF engages in well documented, high profile fetal tissue experiments
For decades, UCSF has been involved in fetal tissue research. Several high-visibility experiments, with study protocols exploiting aborted fetuses at a range of gestational ages and hundreds of animal test subjects, have been published online.
The Division of Experimental Medicine is known to have received fetal organs from UCSF’s own abortion centers as well as California-based Advanced Bioscience Resources—Planned Parenthood’s partner and the #1 baby body parts distributor in America.

FACT: Many experiments rely on a monthly supply of late-term human fetuses from elective abortions One of the most infamous examples of this is a recently cancelled contract between the National Institutes of Health and UCSF which required a team of scientists to acquire two fetuses per month for a period of 6 years. This agreement was a renewal of a similar 6-year contract. Head researcher, Professor Cheryl Stoddart, began these experimental projects at UCSF’s partnering institution The Gladstone Institutes in the year 2000.
