The University of California at San Diego and Planned Parenthood operated an “exchange” partnership involving aborted fetal body parts and scientific research, according to newly released documents obtained by a pro-life watchdog organization.
The Center for Medical Progress believes the evidence uncovered through its open records requests may be “incriminating.” Founder David Daleiden told The College Fix his organization is calling for a federal investigation.
Documents obtained by CMP show the abortion vendor gave tissue from aborted babies to UC San Diego researchers “in exchange for ownership of the university’s ‘patents’ and intellectual property’” from their research, a news release states.
The partnership appears to violate federal law, which prohibits the transfer of aborted human fetal tissue for “valuable consideration,” according to CMP.
Daleiden told The Fix in a recent email his findings are the result of “extensive public records requests” to the university since 2019.
One document is a “Biological Materials Transfer Agreement” contract between Planned Parenthood of San Diego and UC San Diego, signed in 2009 and updated in 2014.
The contract, made for “valuable consideration,” gives the university “access” to “fetal and placental tissue, which are proprietary materials of PPSD,” the news release states.
In exchange, the contract states Planned Parenthood “shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Material, including but not limited to all right, title, and interest in patents and patent applications and other intellectual property rights relating to the Material.”
