Anti-abortion groups in standoff with Trump over fetal tissue research
The Trump administration and its anti-abortion allies have found themselves in a rare feud.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is facing pressure from leading anti-abortion groups to cancel more than $100 million in federal funding for research projects that use fetal tissue.
HHS is soliciting feedback from scientists, anti-abortion groups and other stakeholders as it reviews programs that use fetal tissue before making a decision on whether to nix funding.
Anti-abortion groups say the decision should be easy: Eliminate all fetal-tissue funding.
