Planned Parenthood traded aborted baby fetuses to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) in exchange for royalties from their research, according to bombshell documents.
The details: A 2018 “Research Plan” approved by UCSD requested tissue from 2,500 baby fetuses “from 4 to 23 weeks gestational age” that were aborted at Planned Parenthood San Diego to be used for federally funded research — including hearts and other tissues.
The documents were obtained through a California state public records request by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP).
Abortion for profit: The contract granted Planned Parenthood proprietary rights over the tissue while it was used for research, raising ethical concerns over profiting off of the remains of aborted babies.
Zoom out: Selling fetal tissue is illegal, but it can be donated.
Viable babies: The documents reveal aborted babies as old as 23 weeks were harvested by UCSD. Most healthy infants born prematurely at this stage can survive.
Deceiving Hispanic women: The documents reveal that the English language consent forms contain 15 bullet points, including a disclosure that the tissue may have “significant commercial value.” However, that information is not included in the Spanish consent forms.
The last word goes to David Daleiden, head of the CMP, who said: “These documents show that Planned Parenthood is supplying healthy babies who are old enough to survive outside the womb from late-term abortions to the University of California’s royalty-generating experiments.”

Vice PresidentKamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, publicly dismissed two Christian rallygoers during a rally in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Grant Beth and Luke Polaske, students at the University of Wisconsin’s LaCrosse campus, attended Harris’s rally—and after a Democratic presidential nominee praised abortion—the two can be hard shouting “Christ is Lord.” A briefly startled Harris snaps back, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally,” while appearing to form the shape of two ‘horns’ with one of her hands.
While this part of the exchange with Harris was caught on video, the rally crowd’s interactions with Beth and Polaske didn’t end with the Democratic Party nominee’s quip. Both were booed and heckled by the crowd, though they insisted during an appearance on Fox & Friends Weekend that they were “there for the right reasons.”
“I was pushed by an elderly woman. We were heckled at, we were cursed at, we were mocked, and that’s the biggest thing for me personally,” Grant Beth said regarding the aftermath. “Jesus was mocked. You know, His disciples were mocked.”
For Christian members of the Democratic Party, Harris’s remarks appear to suggest they and their beliefs are not welcome—and consequently, they would be more at home with President Donald J. Trump and his supporters.
Kamala Harris exposes her vile hatred toward Christians once again by ridiculing a rallygoer for invoking the name of God.
The Kingship of Christ is a common phrase and declaration in Christianity—with variations including “Christ is King” and the announcement that “He is the Prince of Peace.” In addition, the phrase “Jesus is Lord” is actually a Christian credal affirmation—a declaration of one’s belief in the dual nature of Christ as both man and God.
The phrase is primarily attributed to Saint Paul and his letters to various Christian groups found in the Bible, with no less than five passages specifically referencing the phrase. These include 1 Corinthians 12:3, Romans 10:9-13, Philippians 2:11, 1 Corinthians 15:3-7, and Romans 1:3-4.

A court has convicted a man for praying silently within the vicinity of an abortion clinic in Britain. Prosecutors argue he broke a law banning all praying, protesting, and demonstrating near facilities that abort babies. Adam Smith-Connor has been sentenced to a two-year conditional discharge and ordered to pay court costs of £9,000 (~$11,700). He silently prayed outside an abortion clinic in Bournemouth, England, in November 2022.
Smith-Connor, a military veteran and physiotherapist, stood silently with his hands clasped together, praying for his unborn son, a victim of abortion 22 years prior. “Today, the court has decided that certain thoughts—silent thoughts—can be illegal in the United Kingdom,” he said of his conviction. “That cannot be right. All I did was pray to God, in the privacy of my own mind, and yet I stand convicted as a criminal?”
Previously, pro-life Christian activist Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was awarded compensation this year after police wrongfully detained her for silently praying near a Birmingham abortion clinic in late 2022. Christian groups have sounded alarms over laws that prohibit even silent prayer near abortion clinics. Groups have worked to overturn legislation and court rulings, arguing they violate freedom of religion.
British politicians appear adamant about enforcing and expanding bans on prayer near abortion clinics.
Bans on prayer within 150 meters (~492 feet) of clinics come into force by the end of October in England and Wales. The bans coincide with the Roman Catholic feast of All Souls’ Day, in which Catholics pray for the dead.
In Scotland, prayer is prohibited 200 meters (~656 feet) from abortion clinics. Christian and pro-life groups warn the law could also criminalize prayers in private homes within “no-prayer zones.”

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has said she hopes she does not “burn in Hell” on the Politics Weekly Americapodcast. The Speaker Emerita, 84, claimed on the show that she avoids using former President Donald J. Trump’s name in favor of euphemisms like “what’s his name,” likening it to a profanity that could leave her soul in a state of sin.
Pelosi, who is seeking reelection in November, told the Guardian-run podcast that Trump is “a grotesque word,” explaining, “I’m afraid, you know, when I grew up Catholic, as I am now, if you said a bad word, you could burn in hell if you didn’t have a chance to confess. So I don’t want to take any chances. It’s up there with, like, swearing.”
When she did utter Trump’s name later in the podcast, she soon exclaimed, “I said his name, oh my gosh, I hope I don’t burn in Hell.”
However, despite her claims to be a staunch and lifelong Catholic, Pelosi has already been banned from receiving Holy Communion by Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco over her strong support for aborting children, in open defiance of Church teaching.
“As you have not publically repudiated your position on abortion, and continue to refer to your Catholic faith in justifying your position… you are not to be admitted to Holy Communion, until such time as you publicly repudiate your advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion and confess and receive absolution of this grave sin in the sacrament of Penance,” he ordered in May 2022.
Bishop Robert Vasa of the Diocese of Santa Rosa, Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Diocese of Arlington, Virginia, and Bishop Joseph Strickland, then of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas, issued similar bans shortly afterward.

A deceptively worded ballot measure in Missouri could end up enshrining the right to late-term abortions in the state constitution. Amendment 3, on the November election ballot, proposes creating a constitutional right to so-called reproductive health care, which includes abortions. The measure comes as similar efforts have succeeded in other states, including Kansas, Kentucky, and Ohio, following the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
Critics contend that the ballot measure’s vague wording would lead to sweeping changes, potentially nullifying existing abortion restrictions and parental consent laws. Especially of concern is the amendment’s provision on “Fetal Viability,” a term without a fixed definition due to advancing medical technology.
The ambiguous language could leave the door open to courts deferring the legal line for viability to abortion providers—paving the way for legal late-term abortions. Additionally, opponents argue the amendment’s allowance for abortion restrictions after viability, except for the health of the mother, could be broadly interpreted.
Notably, the measure doesn’t actually use the term “abortion” but rather says it would “establish a right to make decisions about reproductive health care.”
Beyond legal challenges, the amendment has sparked debate over state funding. Opponents note a clause preventing discrimination in the allocation of state funds to providers of reproductive health care, raising concerns about taxpayer obligations to fund abortions.

Despite denials or attempts to minimize late-term abortions by some in the media and the Democratic Party, third-trimester abortions are taking place across the United States, a new op-ed warns. Emma Camp, the assistant editor at Reason magazine, writes in the Atlantic: “It’s true that third-trimester abortions are rare. But they do happen… Colorado, which is home to clinics that perform third-trimester abortions, recorded 137 third-trimester abortions in 2023.”
“That’s only one state—eight other states, plus Washington, D.C., have no restrictions on third-trimester abortions,” Camp notes, observing that just minutes from her own D.C. office, an abortionist clinic is offering abortions up to almost 32 weeks, while another in nearby Bethesda, Maryland, will kill unborn children up to 35 weeks. Thirty-seven weeks is considered full-term, and babies born as prematurely as 21 weeks can survive.
“Those who support such expansive abortion laws tend to argue that third-trimester abortions are the result of a devastating medical diagnosis. In many cases that’s true, but it is not always the situation. The D.C. clinic I mentioned above confirmed by phone that it performs abortions for any reason. Data on the reasons women have later abortions are also scarce. But when The Atlantic’s Elaine Godfrey interviewed a doctor who specializes in late abortions, he estimated that about half of his patients have healthy pregnancies. Of course, some of his patients are in serious distress for other reasons; some are victims of sexual assault, or are teenagers who didn’t realize they were pregnant. This leads to another logical flaw in how the pro-abortion-rights crowd tends to frame its argument.”
Camp is concerned that Democrats such as Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz tend to downplay or deny the fact that permissive abortion policies permit late terminations or emphasize their relative rarity as a means to dismiss people’s concerns, believing that a broad pro-abortionplatform is vote-winning.
“The grim reality of later abortion is simply too much for most Americans to countenance—and reasonable policymakers should listen to them,” Camp urges, observing that “Most Americans believe that third-trimester abortions should be restricted.”
MINORITY VIEW.
Only 22 percent of Americans support late-term abortions, with just eight percent in favor of unrestricted access. Nevertheless, Camp writes, Democrats are reluctant to admit that Roe v. Wade made no demands on states to restrict late abortions.
Democrats have become increasingly pro-abortion in recent years. A mobile abortion clinic was even deployed at the Democratic National Convention this year.
Kamala Harris has falsely claimed that abortion bans killed a woman in Georgia on the campaign trail. However, the case she referenced saw a woman die due to complications from the use of an abortion pill, highlighting the dangers of abortion itself.

A pro-life activist arrested and prosecuted for breaking pro-abortion laws by the Biden-Harris Justice Department is reportedly being mistreated by federal officials in prison. Heather Idoni is alleged to have been physically abused and kept in solitary confinement.
Heather Idoni was convicted of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and conspiracy charges, devised to stop protests such as Christian prayer vigils near abortionists’ clinics. She has been in custody since August 2023, with trials held in Washington, D.C., and Nashville, Tennessee. Another trial is pending in Detroit, Michigan.
Calvin Zastrow, a co-defendant in the Nashville case, highlighted Idoni’s difficulties during her detention. Idoni has reportedly been transferred between federal prisons frequently and experienced mistreatment in transit.
According to Zastrow, a U.S. Marshal tightened a chain around her waist, making it hard for her to breathe. He alleges she was threatened with worse treatment if she complained.
Congressman Chris Smith, a member of the Pro-life Caucus, has worked with the U.S. Marshals following complaints regarding Idoni’s mistreatment.
Idoni’s health concerns, including diabetes and a past stroke, have been compounded by her experiences in custody, where she was denied necessary medications until congressional intervention.
Congressman Chip Roy has called for the repeal of the FACE Act, criticizing its use against pro-life protesters.
Since the Biden-Harris government took control of the U.S., 24 FACE Act cases have been filed against 55 defendants, nearly all aimed at pro-life activists, despite numerous attacks on churches and pregnancy centers.
Former President Donald J. Trump criticized the federal government’s actions, urging the release of detained pro-life activists.
The Biden-Harris regime has also gone after traditionalist Catholics, with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) deploying informants in Catholic parishes in parts of the country.

Christian and pro-life groups are raising alarms over new abortion laws in Scotland, which could criminalize prayer even in private homes. The legislation, which took effect last month, establishes 200-meter (~656-feet) “safe access zones” around all abortion clinics, banning activities that supposedly “harass, alarm, or distress” abortionists and their patients—including silent prayer vigils.
Even people living within these zones now face the possibility of prosecution for actions people can see or hear from outside their homes. This means activities such as praying aloud or displaying religious symbols could potentially be treated as crimes.
The Scottish Government led by the left-separatist Scottish National Party (SNP)—roughly equivalent to a U.S. state government—confirmed through letters sent to residents in Edinburgh’s safe zones: “In general, the offenses apply in public places within the safe access zones. However, activities in a private place (such as a house) within the area between the protected premises and the boundary of a zone could be an offense if they can be seen or heard within the zone and are done intentionally or recklessly.”
Many Christians, for whom prayer is a personal and sacred act, now fear their private expressions of faith could be under threat from the new law. Michael Robinson, executive director of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, criticized the law as “sinister and Orwellian.” He stresses that the authorities could prosecute individuals for silently praying in their gardens or displaying Bible verses in their windows.
Andrea Williams, chief executive of Christian Concern, called the law “regressive” and an example of “state overreach,” vowing to monitor its enforcement across the country.
Similar laws are set to be imposed in England following multiple failed prosecutions of Christians praying silently inside their heads near abortionists’ clinics.

A group of researchers has initiated a legal case against a publisher that retracted several studies on abortion pill risks, claiming the studies were removed due to political motivations.
Ten researchers from the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute initiated legal proceedings against Sage Publishing, alleging that Sage violated contract laws in California when the journal withdrew three studies, including two regarding abortion pill risks, earlier this year.
The lawsuit aims to prompt Sage to enter arbitration regarding these retractions, which were implemented in February. Dr. James Studnicki, vice president and director of data analytics at the institute, asserted that the retractions damaged the authors’ reputations and contravened scientific publication ethics.
Sage’s official retraction notice mentioned that an independent review was triggered by a reader’s complaint alleging misleading data and authors’ affiliations with the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute.
Dr. Studnicki, who was also removed from the editorial board of Sage’s Health Services Research and Managerial Epidemiology journal months before the retractions, criticized Sage’s actions as politically motivated.
One of the challenged studies, published on November 9, 2021, cited a 500% increase in emergency room visits linked to chemical abortions from 2002-2015, based on Medicaid data.
Another study from May 2022 examined repeated ER visits among women who did not inform their physicians of undergoing chemical abortions. These studies were referenced in federal court decisions about mifepristone’s FDA approval suspension.
Abortion pill dangers were highlighted last month when Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris falsely claimed a woman in Georgia died due to an abortion ban but was actually killed as a result of using mifepristone.
Despite the dangers, pharmaceutical retailers like CVS and Walgreens announced earlier this year they would be dispensing the drug.

In her new memoir, former First Lady Melania Trump has revealed that she supports a so-called “right” to abortion access, despite her Roman Catholic faith and her husband, President Donald J. Trump, being pro-life. The book, titled Melania, is set for release on Tuesday, but the Guardian received a copy early, which revealed the former First Lady’s left-wing, anti-life views.
Mrs. Trump argues that a woman’s right to make choices about her own body is tied to her individual liberty, asserting that such control is vital for maintaining personal dignity. This revelation comes in the lead-up to the presidential election, wherein abortion rights have become a key issue in the race between Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
Harris and the Democrats are radically pro-abortion, having featured a mobile abortion clinic at the Democratic National Convention this year. Harris has constantly railed against abortion bans, blaming the death of a woman in Georgia on a “Trump abortion ban” despite her death being caused by an abortion pill.
This week, a judge in Georgia overturned the state’s six-week abortion ban, arguing it infringed on women’s rights. The rights of the unborn baby, however, were limited to when the child becomes “viable.”
Trump, meanwhile, supported overturning Roe v. Wade, sending abortion issues back to the states. He has not declared support for banning abortion entirely; however, as he indicated, he would likely veto any proposed federal abortion ban.
Melania’s views also contradict her Catholic faith, as the Catholic church teaches that all abortion is wrong as it murders an innocent child. Pope Francis, while seen as controversial on some issues, has stated this clearly on many occasions, calling abortion doctors “hitmen.”
The National Pulse reached out to several members and spokesmen for the Trump campaign, who refused to respond.
