Activists from Pro-Life San Francisco, Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising, and Rehumanize International gathered on November 11 at the Alameda, California, offices of Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) to protest that organization’s role in the aborted fetal experimentation taking place at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
What is ABR?
ABR first came to the public’s attention as a result of investigative journalism by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), which exposedABR’s lucrative position as “the oldest continuously operating wholesaler of aborted fetal body parts in the United States.” CMP revealed that ABR’s annual revenue from the sale of aborted baby body parts — which they buy from individual abortion facilities, including many run by Planned Parenthood, then re-sell to taxpayer-funded research laboratories at an astronomical markup — runs in the millions per year, and is growing.
Federal law prohibits profiting from the sale of fetal organs and tissues, and ABR has been under scrutiny from the federal government since shortly after CMP’s investigation was made public. An inquiry by the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2016 led to ABR’s inclusion on a list of criminal referrals; in 2017, an FBI investigation was opened. Members of Congresshave repeatedly requested updates on that investigation, but no information has thus far been made publicly available.
