Protecting Life and Integrity in Research Act of 2024
The Protecting Life and Integrity in Research Act of 2024 prohibits federal agencies from funding or supporting research using human fetal tissue obtained from induced abortions. It permits federal research on tissue from miscarriages (before 20 weeks) or stillbirths (20 weeks or more), requiring compliance with existing Public Health Service Act regulations. The bill also bans soliciting or knowingly acquiring tissue obtained from induced abortions. These changes amend the Public Health Service Act to restrict federal research to tissue from natural pregnancy losses, not intentional procedures.
