In yet another repulsive move, Donald Trump is cutting off federal funding for any research done by government-contracted scientists that use fetal stem cells to find new treatments for many conditions including Spinal Cord injuries, AIDS and Alzheimer's. The donated fetal tissue would otherwise just get thrown away as trash and research from the program could save future generation by finding treatments for SIDS, Zika virus, and other devastating prenatal problems.

Not only did the Trump administration end funding, but they also proceeded to cancel a multimillion-dollar contract for a University of California San Francisco’s HIV research laboratory that relies on fresh tissue to test for new HIV therapies.

The ideologically polarizing aspect of cutting medical research was made by Comrade Trump himself with

Trump spokesman Judd Deere, called the decision "another important policy to protect the dignity of human life."

The current administration & its war on science is not stopping there and is also considering cutting another $100-$200 million worth of critical medical research into the development of new cancer vaccines and cutting-edge treatments for Kidney disease and Parkinson's.

Other science and medical research programs currently on the chopping block include:

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — $838 million

Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy — 69% cut in funding, 28% reduction in staffing

The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute — $575 million

CDC programs on HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, and prevent of tuberculosis — $186 million

Office of Science at the Department of Energy — $900 million

The National Institutes of Health — $5.8 billion

The National Cancer Institute — $1 billion

CDC programs on vaccine-preventable and respiratory diseases, like influenza and measles — $82 million

The National Science Foundation — $776 million

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — $1.2 billion

Chronic disease prevention programs at the CDC that work on diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and obesity — $222 million

This pointless ban will accomplish nothing and will only slow down projects that are vital for sick war veterans and regular Americans.

Research on cells that are derived from donated fetal tissue is essential to medical advancements. In the past, such research programs have brought us tremendous benefits for developing vaccines for measles and polio.

Of course, the fake concern about "dignity of human life" is only fluff for media outlets because it's painfully evident that Trump has no issues taking life or prosecuting people who leave food and water for immigrants who otherwise might die and heartlessly throwing out the water so they can't get any of it. It's the same reason he has ripped innocent children away from their mothers, with many of them now having no hope of being reunited with their parents ever again.

Birds of a Feather..

Trump doesn't care about the health or future of Americans. He cheers when his dictator pals like Mohammad bin Salman & Vladimir Putin murder those who criticize them. Its why he thinks he can sexually assault women because he's a "celebrity."

Its why he keeps insisting on selling weapons to rogue countries who use them to carpet bomb hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians.

This most recent ban serves to prove his lack of respect towards life and to the fundamental dignity of human life. Instead Mr. Stable Genius would rather allow countless millions of Americans to continue suffering from horrible diseases to pander to his hate-filled base who seem to care more about a microscopic blob of undefined cells than they do about people who are alive.

x What if...



Instead of Trump trying to spend billions to build a wall...



We gave 1 billon to medical research like finding cures for Cancer, ALS, HIV?



Or 1 billion to combatting global warming?

Once again, Trump and his cronies are working overtime to sacrifice human health at the tabernacle of right-wing extremism.
