Other times that opportunity comes but once, and missing it has fateful consequences. That truism comes to mind with the unfolding tale \u2014 or trial, perhaps \u2014 of Dr. Anthony Fauci.<\/p>\n<p>The long-awaited hearing before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs last week did nothing to burnish Fauci\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/spia.princeton.edu\/news\/five-years-later-princeton-researchers-assess-political-failures-covid-response\">fading reputation<\/a>, and the best that can be said of it is that he comprehensively guarded against doing anything to repair that reputation. A wealth of literature exists that tells the story of Fauci\u2019s deceit, despite the hearing\u2019s opacity, but an underreported aspect of his malignancy reveals a sad truth: the careers of Dr. Fauci and his colleague Dr. Francis Collins were saved by a gaggle of pro-life senators in 2017 when moving on from them was finally possible.<\/p>\n<p>Begin with revelations from the hearing that, apart from the COVID calamity, should have riveted the nation. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) took the lead in laying out the grotesqueries of Anthony Fauci\u2019s embrace of exploiting organs and tissues from electively aborted unborn children for his favorite research. The details are stomach-churning. As revealed by David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress, a number of Planned Parenthood facilities across the United States provided a marketplace for fetal tissue and organs taken after elective abortions. The House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives held hearings in 2015 and 2016, releasing its final report in December 2016 during the transition from the Obama administration to the first term of President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Defenders of the practices identified in the report focused deftly on whether Planned Parenthood had violated existing laws outlawing profiteering from the sale of fetal organs for research. Daleiden\u2019s videos of Planned Parenthood officials had demonstrated the indifference of the organization\u2019s medical personnel to the human value of the lives destroyed in their buildings, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2015\/jul\/21\/second-planned-parenthood-video-abortion\">notorious quip<\/a> by a regional medical director that she wanted \u201ca Lamborghini\u201d to make the clinic\u2019s involvement worthwhile and that she would explore having the doctor use a \u201cless crunchy\u201d technique to make more of the organs usable for research purposes. A compliant media and united Democratic front helped Planned Parenthood evade any liability for the abhorrent exploitation of these children.<\/p>\n<p>The final report of the Select Investigative Panel went wisely to the heart of the matter: the profound abuse of innocent human life for the sake of research that violates ethical boundaries and yields nothing of value to the improvement of the human condition. The Panel <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_House_Select_Investigative_Panel_on_Planned_Parenthood\">recommended<\/a> that \u201cthe National Institutes of Health be required to stop funding fetal tissue research, and that the huge health provider Planned Parenthood be stripped of U.S. funding.\u201d Those months before the beginning of the first Trump administration proved pivotal for determining whether either or both of these policy recommendations could be achieved. In the summer of 2016, pro-life groups grappled with the question of whether to support the candidacy of Donald Trump given his history of statements that indicated his endorsement of legal abortion. An April 2024 analysis by NBC News detailed the many permutations of Trump\u2019s public positions on abortion \u2014 \u201cI am very pro-choice\u201d he had said in 1999 \u2014 that had led wary pro-life leaders to approach his newfound declarations against abortion in 2016 with great caution.<\/p>\n<p>To assuage those concerns, a coalition of pro-life leaders helmed by the Susan B. Anthony List negotiated with the Trump campaign to <a href=\"https:\/\/sbaprolife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Trump-Letter-on-ProLife-Coalition.pdf\">secure a letter<\/a> committing the candidate to four key actions. The Trump letter said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI am committed to:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNominating pro-life justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSigning into law the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would end painful late-term abortions nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefunding Planned Parenthood as long as they continue to perform abortions, and reallocating their funding to community health centers that provide comprehensive health care for women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaking the Hyde Amendment permanent law to protect taxpayers from having to pay for abortions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The letter was a linchpin for the pro-life movement nationally to set aside its expressed reservations and back the Trump candidacy.<\/p>\n<p>As the axiom has it, however, personnel is policy. That is particularly true in this fraught area where the bulk of the scientific establishment adheres to a permissive ethic on issues like abortion, cloning, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vatican-updates-financial-investment-policy-to-protect-sanctity-of-life-align-with-church-teachings\/\" title=\"Vatican Updates Financial Investment ... To Protect Sanctity Of ..., Align With Church Teachings\">embryonic stem cell research<\/a>, genetic screening of embryonic humans, and other topics. In those crucial months, as the victorious Trump team planned to assume office, the question of the retention of Dr. Collins as the head of the National Institutes of Health naturally arose. Collins had skyrocketed to international fame as the head of the Human Genome Project, which finalized its unraveling of the genetic map of the human being in 2003. The research opened the horizon to a range of uplifting and disturbing uses, from the identification and potential cure of genetic-based diseases to screening and eugenic practices aimed at manipulating genetic traits and putting current individuals and future generations at risk.<\/p>\n<p>Collins\u2019s leadership coincided with what can be called a mechanistic or utilitarian view of the use of the remains of electively aborted children in publicly funded research projects. Despite the lack of therapeutic outcomes from such projects, Collins responded to the Select Panel\u2019s report with a more or less \u201cmight as well\u201d approach. Like other key federal officials in the new administration, Collins offered to step down for the president to appoint a new NIH director.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2017, Dr. David Prentice, then-vice president and director of research at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/opinion\/2017\/04\/25\/francis-collins-nih-director-column\/100844054\/\">wrote an op-ed<\/a> in USA Today calling on the new president to appoint a replacement for Collins. Dr. Prentice detailed how Collins, first appointed to the NIH role by Barack Obama, for whom he campaigned, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/content\/article\/nih-chief-defends-use-human-fetal-tissue-opponents-decry-it-congress\">supported<\/a> the failed pursuit of embryonic stem cell research, human cloning for experimental purposes, and even the assembly of human-animal chimeras, which Dr. Prentice noted could result in the \u201ccreation of animals that could contain human sperm, human eggs or a human brain.\u201d For Collins, use of harvested fetal organs from elective abortions was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/content\/article\/nih-chief-defends-use-human-fetal-tissue-opponents-decry-it-congress\">non-issue.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite the best efforts of Dr. Prentice and other prominent scientists, the Trump administration elected to keep Collins in charge. For some, his connections in the evangelical world sufficed for him to clear the bar of acceptability. In May 2020, Collins was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/2020\/05\/francis-collins-nih-wins-templeton-prize-biologos-genome\/\">awarded<\/a> a Templeton Prize of $1.3 million for his efforts, including extensive writings expounding on the connections between faith and public policy. At the pivotal moment when Collins\u2019s retention occurred in early 2017, his cause was aided by Republican legislators on Capitol Hill who elevated him over concerns about his policy views on the sanctity of human life. The support of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2016\/12\/02\/francis-collins-nih-trump\/\">respected voices<\/a> like Senator Roy Blunt, Senator Lamar Alexander, Rep. Tom Cole, and Rep. Fred Upton likely influenced Trump. In tandem with such a leading light, Anthony Fauci, who also endorsed and funded the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-prohibits-release-of-undercover-pro-life-activists-recordings\/\" title=\"Judge Prohibits Release of Undercover Pro-... Activist\u2019s Recordings\">aborted fetal tissue<\/a>, was swept along into a Republican administration nominally supportive of the right to life.<\/p>\n<p>As 2026 began, the second Trump administration came around to the ethical and scientific reality and ended at last federal support for human fetal tissue research involving elective abortions. The idea that this research is acceptable because these children no longer have need of their hearts, lungs, or other vital organs has been vanquished for now. But the funding of Planned Parenthood continues, and elective abortions are on the rise.<\/p>\n<p>It is difficult to fault the first Trump administration overmuch because its decision on the celebrities of Collins and Fauci was fueled by party members on whom it would ordinarily rely. But the entire episode serves as a humble reminder about where decisions like these can lead, and why today\u2019s battles in Congress don\u2019t amount to the decision points they seem to be. Only a handful of pro-life leaders showed courage nearly a decade ago when the Collins-Fauci debacle might have been averted. What calamities down the road are at stake in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/rfk-jr-stance-abortion-rcna151808\">personnel decisions<\/a> being made in federal health agencies today?<\/p>\n<div><em>Chuck Donovan served in the Reagan White House as a senior writer and as Deputy Director of Presidential Correspondence until early 1989.

This idea resonates with the ongoing story &#8211; or perhaps trial &#8211; of Dr. Anthony Fauci. The much-anticipated hearing before the U.S. Senate Committee last week did little to restore Fauci\u2019s declining reputation; in fact, he seemed to go out of his way to avoid repairing it. Despite extensive coverage of Fauci\u2019s alleged deceptions, a less discussed but important truth emerges: both Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins were protected by pro-life senators in 2017 when their dismissals seemed imminent. <\/p>\n<p>Key revelations from the hearing should have captured national attention beyond COVID issues. Senator Joni Ernst highlighted disturbing evidence of Fauci\u2019s involvement in research using organs and tissues from elective abortions-details that are deeply unsettling. Investigations by David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress exposed how Planned Parenthood clinics supplied fetal tissue for profit, despite laws against such practices. The House Select Panel on Infant Lives held hearings in 2015-2016, concluding that these practices exploited innocent lives for questionable research benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters argued about legal violations but largely ignored ethical concerns about human dignity and morality. The panel recommended halting federal funding for fetal tissue research and stripping Planned Parenthood of government support-recommendations that faced political hurdles during transitions between administrations.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, pro-life groups debated whether to support Donald Trump due to his past statements on abortion but ultimately secured commitments from him on appointing pro-life judges, banning late-term abortions through legislation like the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, defunding Planned Parenthood if they continued performing abortions, and making Hyde Amendment protections permanent-all crucial steps that helped sway many pro-life advocates.<\/p>\n<p>Personnel decisions proved critical: as Trump prepared to take office in early 2017, questions arose about whether Collins would remain NIH director amid controversy over fetal tissue use and other ethically fraught research areas like cloning or chimeras-experiments involving human-animal hybrids with potential moral implications. Despite calls from scientists like Dr. David Prentice urging Collins\u2019s replacement due to his support for controversial stem cell work under Obama\u2019s administration, Collins was retained-a decision influenced by key Republican lawmakers who valued his expertise.<\/p>\n<p>By 2026 under a new administration aligned more closely with ethical standards-and after years of debate-the federal government finally ceased funding fetal tissue research involving elective abortions; however, funding for Planned Parenthood persists amid rising abortion rates elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>This episode underscores how personnel choices shape policy outcomes-and why current decisions matter profoundly today more than ever before in shaping future ethical standards in science and health policy.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck Donovan has extensive experience working on life issues at high levels of government and think tanks; he now co-leads SALT (Science Alliance for Life &amp; Technology).
