Weeks ago, abortionist Daniel Grossman published a series of tweets which read like an admission of racism within organizations where he is involved or a director. Despite this admission, Grossman remains a darling of both the media and the abortion industry – which has its own issues on racism, I might add.
Grossman’s Tweet read, “[…] we recognize that racism and white supremacy are deeply ingrained within our academic and research institutions, within medicine and medical research and practice, and in our own backyard of Oakland, where ANSIRH’s [Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health] office is located.” As Live Action News pointed out at the time, Grossman serves as director for this University of California San Francisco program. Read more about ANSIRH here.
Grossman then acknowledged that, under his own leadership, ANSIRH had “created and upheld structures that limit the success of Black and Brown scholars and staff.” Limiting the success of Black or Brown people – isn’t that straight up racism?

Perhaps the reason he has been so quickly forgiven is that Dr. Daniel Grossman is leading the push for so-called “self-managed” abortion and behind several clinical trials to expand abortion. He is the media darling and go-to “expert” on the abortion pill expansion despite his leadership in at least one organization directly funded by the abortion pill manufacturer, Danco Laboratory. A fact which the media chooses to ignore.
Abortionist Daniel Grossman
By his own admission, Grossman has stated under oath, “I am a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist; an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF); and a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), where I recently completed a term as Vice Chair of the Committee on Practice Bulletins for Gynecology. I am currently a member of the ACOG Committee on Health Care for Underserved Women. I am also a Fellow of the Society of Family Planning and a member of the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Public Health Association (APHA). I provide clinical services, including abortion care, as a consultant to Planned Parenthood Shasta Pacific, and I serve as a liaison member of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America National Medical Committee. In addition, I serve as Vice President for Research at Ibis Reproductive Health, a nonprofit research organization.”
In 2018, Grossman added, ” I currently provide clinical services, including abortion services, at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital…. Additionally, I serve as Director of Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH) at UCSF… I am also a Senior Advisor at Ibis Reproductive Health, a nonprofit research organization…”
Grossman’s ties to abortion are very deep ties as previously documented at Live Action News here: (many excerpts of that article below).
Abortion Pill Clinical Trials:
He is principle investigator for two clinical trials for pharmacy dispensing of the abortion pill. One clinical trial seeks to dispense mifepristone via a mail-order pharmacy and in the second clinical trial the abortion pill is directly dispensed to abortion clients by pharmacists.

Live Action News has documented several times how the Buffett and Packard foundations along with billionaire George Soros (Open Society Foundations) were original investors in abortion pill manufacturer Danco Laboratories. Live Action News uncovered that the Buffett Foundation has been an anonymous funding source for at least one abortion pill study co-authored by Grossman.
Population Council:
As previously reported by Live Action News, it was the eugenics-founded Population Council which initially brought the abortion pill into the U.S. and set up the pill’s for-profit manufacturer, Danco Laboratories, LLC.
According to an archived CV, Grossman, “held the position of Health Specialist at the Population Council in Mexico City. While at the Council, his work included qualitative research on women’s experiences with misoprostol abortion, developing an acceptability trial of female-controlled barrier methods, designing training materials on emergency contraception, and training on medication abortion.
And, according to WHO, prior to joining the Council, he was in practice at St. Luke’s Hospital in San Francisco.
Ibis Reproductive Health:
Daniel Grossman was once the Vice President of Research at Ibis, founded by Charlotte Ellertson. Ellertson spent seven years at the Population Council, the final four as Director of Reproductive Health for Latin America and the Caribbean in Mexico City the same as Grossman, ironically.
Today, Grossman is on staff as a Senior Advisor at Ibis Reproductive Health.
What Grossman consistently fails to reveal is that, according to Live Action News, Ibis is funded by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation (and has been since at least 2003) – an abortion pill investor. Population Council has also funded IBIS.
In addition, as recently as January 2020, Ibis was also directly funded by abortion pill manufacturer Danco Laboratories.

Why is Grossman authoring studies and taking part in clinical trials on the abortion pill while an organization he is a director with is directly being funded by the abortion pill manufacturer: Danco Laboratories?
Lest you think it is an error, Ibis has boasted Danco funding since at least 2014 when Grossman was listed as a VP of Research. Danco funded Ibis again in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and early 2020 when it was finally scrubbed from their website.
Other funders of Ibis have included the Guttmacher Institute, Gynuity Health Projects, The Fred H. Bixby Foundation, The Ford Foundation , General Service Foundation, The Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation, Harvard University, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Ipas , Physicians for Reproductive Choice, Society of Family Planning, Tides Foundation, University of California, Davis, University of California, San Francisco, University of Texas, and The Mary Wohlford Foundation.
Grossman is also referred to as a Certified Healthcare Provider (CHP) in the Mifeprex® REMS under Danco.
Ibis has also been heavily funded by one of Danco’s original investors, Packard Foundation:

UCSF and Bixby Center for Reproductive Health:
Daniel Grossman is a professor at University of California San Francisco’s (UCSF) which is heavily funded by Danco investor, the Buffett Foundation.
Grossman is on staff at UCSF’s Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, which trains abortion providers and receives funding from a number of organizations collaborating to expand abortion, such as the Packard Foundation.
Grossman was also behind a now withdrawn clinical trial for use of abortion pill on non-pregnant women sponsored by UCSF.

UCSF is sponsoring Grossman’s pharmacy dispensing and Mail Order dispensing abortion pill clinical trials outside FDA approved safety system known as REMS. According to Live Action News, UC’s programs are funded by Packard and Buffett, both investors of Danco.
In past years, Buffett gave $78 million to the University of California — and according to the New York Times, Buffett is the primary financier of the Bixby Center’s Ryan Residency Program at UCSF, where Daniel Grossman works. In 2016, ProPublica revealed that “Buffett’s main academic partner (receiving at least $88 million from 2001 to 2014) has been the University of California, San Francisco…” where Grossman is on staff.

In addition, Grossman has:
- Provided abortions up to 20 weeks’ gestation at St. Luke’s Women’s Center.
- Worked with the Mexico City Population Council.
- Had his studies funded by the Packard Foundation.
Grossman’s long career in advocating for abortion is reason to be skeptical of many of his claims.
