RFK Jr. Says No More Tax Dollars for Aborted Baby Research [WATCH]

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made it clear that under his leadership, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will not receive a single penny of taxpayer dollars for research using the remains of aborted babies, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

In a firm commitment during his confirmation hearing for Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary, Kennedy vowed to reinstate former President Donald Trump’s policy that blocked federal funding for such grotesque experiments.

During Thursday’s hearing, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley directly questioned Kennedy on whether he would uphold Trump’s pro-life policies at the NIH. Hawley reminded Kennedy that under Trump’s first term, HHS put an end to new NIH research involving human fetal tissue from elective abortions.

The senator then pressed Kennedy for a clear answer, stating, “Will you reinstate President Trump’s policy that ensures that no federal research and no federal tax dollars is conducted on fetal tissue taken from elective abortions?”

Kennedy’s response was direct and unwavering: “Yes.”

This stance is particularly notable given that Kennedy has positioned himself as a moderate on abortion, typically leaning pro-choice. However, he made it clear that he stands with President Trump’s vision on key pro-life policies and is committed to executing them without hesitation.

“I agree with President Trump that every abortion is a tragedy. I agree with him that we cannot be a moral nation if we have 1.2 million abortions a year,” Kennedy stated. He emphasized the importance of state control over abortion laws, aligning with the conservative push to return the issue to individual states rather than the federal government.

Furthermore, Kennedy pledged to carry out Trump’s broader pro-life agenda, including ending late-term abortions, upholding conscience exemptions for medical professionals, and cutting all federal funding for abortions both in the U.S. and abroad under Title X.

“I serve at the pleasure of the president — I’m going to implement his policies,” Kennedy stated, leaving no room for doubt.

Kennedy’s declaration marks a significant moment in the ongoing battle over pro-life policies in Washington.

His confirmation would ensure that Trump’s pro-life stance is not just maintained but actively enforced at one of the most influential federal agencies overseeing healthcare and medical research.

As the 2024 election season heats up, this commitment could play a major role in solidifying pro-life support within the Republican base.

If Kennedy follows through on his pledge, it would be a major victory for conservatives who have long fought against the federal government’s involvement in funding research that relies on the destruction of unborn lives.
