(Tyler, TX) Children of God for Life, Inc. is announcing relocation of Corporate operations and changes in leadership, including the Board of Directors, effective immediately. The organization is also announcing an expansion of its pro-life work and its mission from a focus on vaccines to a broader effort to end the use of aborted children in scientific research.
Children of God for Life, Inc. was originally established in Clearwater, Florida in 1999 by founder and Executive Director, Debra Vinnedge. Debra Vinnedge is the woman who requested and received the 2005 document from the Pontifical Academy for Life, “Moral Reflections on Vaccines Prepared from Cells Derived from Aborted Human Foetuses.”
“We are absolutely thrilled to announce the broadening of our pro-life efforts in fighting against the use of tissues from electively aborted children in vaccines. The organization will also focus on ending the exploitation and abuse of the unborn, seeking to end the immoral use of aborted fetal tissue in research, development, and commerce,” stated Mrs. Vinnedge, who is retiring after two decades of service.
The organization’s path forward will be led by Drs. Jose and Stacy Trasancos. Stacy Trasancos will assume the role of Chief Research Officer and serve as a Board Director. Jose Trasancos will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer and will serve as Chairman of the Board. Children of God for Life, Inc. is delighted to announce the election of Most Reverend Bishop Joseph Strickland to the Board of Directors, where he will serve as Spiritual Director. Mrs. Vinnedge will remain on the Board of Directors and continue to support and assist the organization in an advisory capacity.
Vinnedge said it has been her life-long dream to be able to help parents, physicians, and other prolife organizations. With the addition of the new Board members and expanded scope of Children of God for Life, Inc., that dream may soon be realized.
In recent weeks, Dr. Stacy Trasancos has published guidance on the use of aborted fetal material in biomedical research from both a science and moral perspective. Stacy was a senior research scientist at DuPont and has advanced degrees in both chemistry and dogmatic theology. Jose had a successful career as a senior executive in the auto insurance industry with advanced degrees in political science and applied mathematics. Together they will lead a fight against the exploitation of unborn, unwanted children killed by abortion.
“We never expected to do something like this, but we are first children of God and parents to the gifts of children God entrusted to us. When the COVID-19 vaccine was accepted — even though it was produced using an abortion-derived cell line — we realized that the Christian voice for human dignity is needed now more than ever. It is time to mobilize. We have the skills to unite people of good will and fight these practices, so we can leave a better civilization for our children.”

Thank you for taking on the culture of death and helping by making awareness of those aborted children issues of using them for their anti-life. Also thank you for being a witness to evangelizing the culture of life in our communities.
helpful Thank you.
Thank you, Mrs. Vinnedge for all your years of dedication. I am glad to see that you will still be involved and that you have found a solid way to continue and expand the good work that Children of God for Life has been doing. May God bless you abundantly, as He has blessed us through you!
Wow, what a great development.
Praise God! I’m so happy to see this work begun by Mrs. Vinnedge will be continued. She has my respect! And such great news that the Trasancos will now take the lead. May God grant you great success. This is especially wonderful to me since my personal prayer, this very week had been that God would open up a new opportunity to fight against the unethical exploitation of aborted children. Then Lo and behold, I find a very blessed answer to my prayer. I will be checking back to see how I can be involved. “Let’s roll!”
Thank you and the best of luck in these new positions. This site is where I continue to go and find the authenticity of His Truths especially in regards to vaccines. May you continue to maintain a strong commitment to evangelizing His Truths regarding the unborn and ethical practices.
Thank you for years of leadership with regard to ethical vaccines. I am happy the organization will expand its scope. Who would have ever expected a pandemic in 2020 to make this the most important discussion; is the vaccine ethical? Thank God He prepared you long ago. Our gratitude and prayers.
Thank you, Lord, for the lifelong dedication of Debi Vinnedge, heroine in our lifetime. May her retirement be a bkessed one and may she live to see that Culture of Life fir which she worked so valiantly.
God Bless you Debi you are a true prolife warrior and your efforts have paved the way to tell the truth about the immoral, unethical and illegal use of aborted human fetal tissue research – which violates the 1947 Nuremberg Code that requires the informed consent of the subject and the ability to withdraw from the experiment, both denied the human fetal subject. Scientists performing human fetal research using aborted fetal embryos are committing crimes against humanity and it must end. God Bless the new Executive director and may God give the entire organization his blessings and protection in this critical prolife research and communications endeavor.
God bless you, Debi, for all you hard work! Time to pass the baton & take your well-deserved rest! I am so thankful that you have found people just as dedicated to continue the momentum moving forward! We long for the day that abortion is UNTHINKABLE!
God bless and protect!
It is wonderful that such good followers are willing to continue the fight and also that a bishop supports this with his advice and blessing. Thanks to Mrs. Vinnedge for now 20 years of work to protect the lives of God’s children. God’s protection and blessing to you all!
Thank you, Debi, for all of your hard work. My family has been blessed learning from you and COG for Life. Praying for Drs. Trasancos and everyone involved in this endeavor.
Thank you for being the light in the world
Welcome, Jose and Stacy! You have huge shoes to fill, but from what you have already accomplished, it is clear you will carry on Debi’s energy and passion. We look forward to your leadership!
Our association has shared your resources for such a long time. We pray that our joint efforts will continue so that Catholic Nurses will receive the most current and relevant information to be children of God at the bedside, nursing homes, educational institutions, and offices.

I assume that the “confirmation” phase of a vaccine’s production means the “testing” phase? Si o no?
If it does mean the testing phase, why were cell lines from deliberately aborted fetuses (albeit aborted 20-30 years ago) used in the “confirmation ” phase of both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines?
Can’t these gene-based types of vaccines be effectively tested on types of cells other than on fetal cells. — on placental cells for example?
I am so happy to hear about the positive and exciting changes for COGforlife! Debi did a wonderful job blazing the trail for the last two decades and I know that Stacy and her family have a true heart for continuing her important work. Praise be to God!
