As LifeNews.com has extensively reported, Judicial Watch and the Center for Medical Progress said they obtained 252 pages of new documents about the university's practices from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. HHS provided the documents after the groups filed a Freedom of Information Act request and later a lawsuit when the agency did not follow through.

The documents show that the federal government gave the University of Pittsburgh at least $2.7 million in federal tax dollars over the past five years to become a "tissue hub" for aborted baby body parts for scientific research.

David Daleiden, founder and president of the Center for Medical Progress, said evidence in the documents suggests late-term aborted babies may be being delivered alive before their organs are harvested.

"Infants in the womb, some old enough to be viable, are being aborted alive and killed for organ harvesting, in order to bring in millions of dollars in taxpayer funding for Pitt and the Planned Parenthood abortion business it supports," Daleiden said. "Law enforcement and public officials should act immediately to bring the next Kermit Gosnell to justice under the law."

Now, doctors are confirming that to be true.

According to a new report at Fox News, "multiple physicians have said Pitt's statements indicate fetuses could have been alive during the tissue collection that fed GUDMAP research – something the university vehemently denies."

Dr. Ronna Jurow, an ob-gyn who previously worked at Planned Parenthood and describes herself as "pro-choice," told Fox News Thursday that "there's no question" the fetus would be alive during tissue collection. Jurow hasn't worked at Pitt but was basing her comments on what Pitt told NIH and Seldin's statement to Fox News.
