Will It Matter if Elena Kagan is Kept From the High Court?

Pro Life opposition to President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee has been robust over the past few weeks.  And the continual revelations of just how radical Elena Kagan’s views on abortion are, are breathtaking.

But will it matter if her appointment is defeated and the President is sent back to the drawing board to find another appointee?  After all, the trip back to the drawing board would only be a formality.  Another appointee, with similar radical views on abortion, we can be sure, lies waiting in the wings, or the in the West Wing, we should say.

My opinion: Yes.  It matters tremendously if Elena Kagan is denied entrance to the High Court.  I hope that she never darkens the doors of the Supreme Court, and I do mean “darkens”.  If the pro-life opposition can successfully expose the truth about Elena Kagan’s radical views we will have won a significant battle on behalf of pre-born children.  Few issues are more important than this one.  This is the right kind of issue to deny an appointee entrance to the Supreme Court over.

Let’s send President Obama back the drawing board again and again until he finally appoints someone who reveres the sanctity of human life at all stages.

As for Elena Kagan, she is not that appointee.  Here’s her defense of what is commonly known as Partial Birth Abortion while working in the Clinton Administration.  Kagan tampered with a medical statement from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology regarding their findings that Partial Birth Abortion was never the “only” means necessary to preserve the life or health of a mother.  The ACOG actually, shockingly, (Kagan is not a medical Doctor) accepted her revisions to their statement and published a lie to stop legislation that would have banned Partial Birth Abortion (also known as Intact D & X).  ACOG is a pro abortion organization.

For those wondering what Partial Birth Abortion is… Click here.  And here’s a description from the pro abortion American Medical Association:

(1) The term ‘partial birth abortion’ is not a medical term. The AMA will use the term “intact dilatation and extraction”(or intact D&X) to refer to a specific procedure comprised of the following elements: deliberate dilatation of the cervix, usually over a sequence of days; instrumental or manual conversion of the fetus to a footling breech; breech extraction of the body excepting the head; and partial evacuation of the intracranial contents of the fetus to effect vaginal delivery of a dead but otherwise intact fetus. This procedure is distinct from dilatation and evacuation (D&E) procedures more commonly used to induce abortion after the first trimester. Because ‘partial birth abortion’ is not a medical term it will not be used by the AMA.

For purposes of full disclosure I’ll add that they failed to mention that scissors are used to puncture the back of the living child’s skull and then pried open so the “Doctor” can then perform their “partial evacuation of the intracranial contents of the fetus to effect vaginal delivery of a dead but otherwise intact fetus.”

Kagan also attempted to adjust the AMA’s medical statement but she was unsuccessful.  Read about that attempt here.
