This type of experimental research is a gross violation of human dignity and is not where the&nbsp;<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kofc.org\/en\/resources\/news-room\/polls\/kofc-americans-opinions-on-abortion012021.pdf\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>majority<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>&nbsp;of Americans want their tax dollars being spent. The government has no business creating a marketplace for aborted baby body parts.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">McClusky told The Daily Wire that the \u201cethics advisory board requirements for proposals has just been eliminiated and they\u2019re also eliminating the ethics review, which is basically a tacit admission of wrongdoing, in our opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He said, \u201cNone of this should come as a surprise to anybody when you have both the vice president and the HHS secretary [being] complicit in the wrongdoing in California, going so far as to target the investigator, the Center for Medical Progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/kamala-harris-office-collaborated-planned-hank-berrien\"><span class=\"s1\">The Daily Wire<\/span><\/a> reported on the collaboration between officials from then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris\u2019 office and Planned Parenthood in order to go after David Daleiden, the journalist who filmed Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of fetal body parts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>Daleiden has since been tied up in legal battles with Planned Parenthood over the past several years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In 2019, the Trump administration stopped fetal tissue research and created the ethics board to look at any requests for funding that involved the specific type of research. According to Politico, the board met once and only approved one of the fourteen projects that NIH scientists put forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">McClusky said that most Americans do not want research on aborted fetal tissue to be done. \u201cThe Trump administration really didn\u2019t get a lot of credit for it. They didn\u2019t make many friends within the research community when they did it. However, it was the right thing to do and the majority of Americans agree,\u201d McClusky told The Daily Wire. \u201cWhen it comes to science like this, scientists should just not have free rein. People have a role in this and deciding what the ethics are and what\u2019s acceptable or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">McClusky said that the Biden administration\u2019s move is a sign of how fragile the issue is on a federal level. He added that March for Life Action is working to push back on many of the policies coming out of the federal government regarding abortion, but \u201cour main job, I think, is going to be exposing and making sure that Americans remember this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
