The policy, long urged by anti-abortion groups, expands restrictions issued during President Donald Trump's first term.
The government has funded research involving fetal tissue for decades, under both Republican and Democratic administrations. The tissue, which otherwise would be thrown away, has been critical for certain research, including ways to fight HIV and cancer.
