Fox News
At least eight Republican politicians, including three from Pennsylvania's congressional delegation, are calling for an investigation into the University of Pittsburgh's fetal tissue research.
At the federal level, calls for investigation have come from Reps. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., Mike Kelly, R-Pa., Glenn Thompson, R-Pa., and Mary Miller, R-Ill. Several U.S. Senate candidates – Ohio's J.D. Vance, Pennsylvania's Sean Parnell, and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt – have scrutinized Pitt's practices as well. And in a statement to Fox News, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said recent reports were "deeply disturbing." "The federally funded research with the National Institute of Health (NIH) and Pitt. demonstrates a clear need to protect the sanctity of life at every level of scientific advancement," she said.More Related News
