Elena Kagan Morally Blind?

By Rick Pearcey • July 3, 2010, 08:20 AM

James Lewis writes at American Thinker:

Elena Kagan has now admitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee that as a Clinton lawyer in 1997, she fraudulently revised an official medical opinion by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. The medical society was going to publicly reveal that "its panel of experts found no circumstances in which the (partial birth abortion) procedure was the only option for saving the life of a woman."

In a secret memo, she wrote that "This, of course, would be a disaster[.]"

Kagan therefore secretly revised the language so the final statement in 1997 claimed that the partial-birth abortion "may be the best and most appropriate procedure in particular circumstances to save the life or preserve the health of the woman."

"This was a pernicious life," Lewis concludes. "The medical panel originally said that was false. Kagan substituted her own judgment for a medical consensus."
