It was a revelation that should have shaken the very foundations of our moral compass, when documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) exposed the depths of depravity to which the Obama administration sank in its pursuit of scientific advancement.
Judicial Watch obtained 198 pages of FDA records exposing the agency’s contracts with Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) for the procurement of human fetal tissue, including intact heads, organs, and body parts from 8-24 week gestations, to engineer “humanized mice” for research purposes. The documents detail initial payments of $230 per fetal tissue specimen plus $95 shipping, totaling $11,655 for 21 shipments, with later escalations to $685 for liver-thymus sets, $275 for second-trimester D&E specimens, and $515 for intact calvaria, all justified by the FDA as a sole-source $60,000 non-competitive award since ABR was deemed the only U.S. provider of fresh, never-frozen material free of HIV, hepatitis, or chromosomal defects. In 2018, the Trump-era FDA abruptly terminated the arrangement amid compliance issues with federal bans on fetal tissue sales under 42 U.S.C. § 289g-2 and inadequate sole-source rationale, triggering an internal audit. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton decried the practice as “a moral and legal outrage,” underscoring the ethical perils of government-backed fetal tissue sourcing from the abortion industry and advocating for greater transparency and accountability. https://www.judicialwatch.org/new-fda-records-humanized-mice/
These documents, detailing the procurement of aborted baby parts by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), are not merely a bureaucratic footnote but a harrowing testament to the ethical bankruptcy of those in power.
OBAMA administration purchased aborted baby parts FOIA documents.

Here's the actual FOIA released documents pertaining to the prices for the baby body parts, including the $515 dollar price tag for a fresh, not frozen, intact calvarium, which is the top of the human skull, and… https://t.co/71N5RtksEQ pic.twitter.com/FnL4ATO7cV
Sourced from Advanced Bioscience Resources, Inc. (ABR), the document lists the grotesque prices for fetal tissues and parts, including an intact calvarium—the top part of a baby’s skull—from a second trimester fetus, priced at a chilling $515 per specimen. This is not an isolated incident but part of a broader, systemic commodification of human life, where the sanctity of the unborn was traded for the cold currency of research dollars.
The Obama administration’s complicity in this macabre enterprise is undeniable. Historical records confirm that during this period, contracts were established between the FDA and companies like ABR for the acquisition of fetal tissue, under the guise of medical research. This was not a passive oversight but an active endorsement of a practice that can only be described as demonic. The very idea that taxpayer dollars were funneled into purchasing the dismembered parts of aborted babies is a betrayal of the highest order, a affront to the dignity of human life.
The ethical and legal debates surrounding fetal tissue research are well-documented, but they cannot sanitize the horror of what transpired. Critics, including those within the Trump administration, rightly condemned these practices, leading to the termination of such contracts in 2018. Yet, the damage had been done. The Obama administration’s support for this research, arguing it was both ethical and legal, rings hollow in the face of such grotesque evidence.
Undercover journalism by figures like David Daleiden further exposed the network of organizations, including Planned Parenthood, involved in this trade. The videos and testimonies revealed a callous indifference to the sanctity of life, with discussions of unaliving babies treated as mundane business transactions. The worst part is the implication that these abortions were planned, timed to ensure the tissues remained viable for research—a premeditated act of evil.
The connection to Planned Parenthood only deepens the outrage. The threads of evidence weave a tapestry of corruption and moral decay, where the vulnerable are exploited for profit under the veneer of scientific progress.
The government that allowed this, that sanctioned the purchase of aborted baby parts, must be held to account. This is not a matter of political affiliation but a fundamental question of right and wrong. The Obama administration’s actions are a stain on our collective conscience, a reminder of the depths to which power can descend when unchecked by moral restraint.We must ensure that such atrocities are never repeated.
Was stopping it enough?
The termination of these contracts by the Trump administration was a step in the right direction, but it is not enough. We need transparency, we need justice, and we need a recommitment to the sanctity of life. The documents do not lie; they scream of a government that lost its way, and it is our duty to ensure it never happens again.
The price of a baby’s skull should never be measured in dollars but in the infinite value of human life.
