Republicans demand answers about government experiments with animals and fetal tissue

Republican lawmakers are demanding the Trump administration provide more information about government experiments that mix animals with fetal tissue from abortions.

In a letter sent Wednesday, 69 lawmakers said they were “disappointed” the research had been allowed to continue and highlighted a Washington Examiner op-ed from August that said the National Institutes of Health, the government’s research branch, paid out $115 million for 200 different projects involving fetal tissue.
