_/*DAY 3 EXPOSED: PBA MENDACITY...*/_
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=172965>
During her time in the Clinton Administration, Elena Kagan urged the
President to oppose any meaningful restrictions on partial-birth
abortion.* *She told President Clinton at the time that any real
limitations on abortion were "unconstitutional." In addition, it now
appears that Kagan pushed her agenda one step further by lobbying two
major medical organizations to publicly change their positions on
partial-birth abortion.
<http://action.aul.org/site/R?i=V7p50gv8b2dFQG4SmnVq2g..>
In a June 15^th legal memo from our sister organization, Americans
United for Life, AUL attorneys raised additional concerns about Kagan's
apparent lobbying efforts to change the position of a major medical
group -- the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)
-- on partial birth abortion.
When Kagan found out in December 1996 that ACOG was considering a
statement that its experts "could identify no circumstances under which
the [partial-birth] procedure... would be the only option to save the
life or preserve the health of the woman," Kagan wrote a memo stating
that this "of course would be [a] disaster."
In other words, Elena Kagan knew that if ACOG's scientific opinion
became public, her argument that partial-birth abortion is necessary
would be completely discredited.
Kagan intervened and drafted language to alter ACOG's position.
Yesterday, Kagan was questioned about this by several Senators and
admitted that *the new language was in her handwriting*.
"I'm really stunned by what appears to be a real politicization of
science," Senator Orrin Hatch said yesterday. "The political objective
of keeping partial-birth abortion legal appears to have trumped what a
medical organization originally wrote and left to its own scientific
inquiry they had concluded."
Kagan told Senator Hatch that "....*there was no way in which I would*
have or could have intervened with ACOG, which is a respected body of
physicians, to get it to change its medical views on the question."
*Evidence released yesterday by Americans United for Life attorneys,
however, reveals that Kagan may have lobbied the American Medical
Association (AMA) to change its position as well. *
*Kagan was concerned about an AMA policy that *that there is no
identified situation in which a partial-birth abortion is medically
necessary. *She acknowledged in an email recovered from the Clinton
Library files that *she was in a meeting "on whether the AMA policy *can
be reversed at its convention on June 23."* She stated that "We agreed
to do a bit of thinking about whether we (in truth, HHS) could
contribute to that effort."*** *
*This cryptic and troubling email demands further explanation.
<http://action.aul.org/site/R?i=fKENM8nE48IcZnXyowYwMg..> *
*Kagan was so opposed to the passage of a ban on partial-birth abortion,
she hoped that ACOG and the AMA would suppress or modify their views
and, written evidence suggests, may have worked behind the scenes to
make that happen.***
*Evidence from Kagan's time in the White House indicates that she may
have been more involved in lobbying medical groups on partial-birth
abortion than she admitted yesterday under oath. *
*Kagan's possible lobbying of medical organizations on its own is
troubling, but the effect of this successful effort is even more
startling. *
Later, a federal judge in Nebraska relied on the ACOG policy statement
to strike down the federal prohibition of partial-birth abortion.
Shannen Coffin, a then-Justice Department attorney defending the federal
ban related how the judge emphasized the "integrity of the process that
led to" the statement, writing that, "neither ACOG nor the task force
members conversed with other individuals or organizations . . .
concerning the topics addressed." Coffin recounted that, "Kagan's role
was never disclosed to the courts."

***Oral Statement of Dr. Charmine Yoest of Americans United for Life
During Kagan Hearings*
WASHINGTON, July 1 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following is Dr.
Charmaine Yoest's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on
July 1, 2010:
Thank you Chairman Leahy, Ranking Member Sessions, and members of the
Committee for inviting me to testify on behalf of Americans United for
Life (AUL), the oldest national pro-life public-interest law and policy
organization. Our vision at AUL is a nation where everyone is welcomed
in life and protected by law. We have been committed to defending human
life through vigorous judicial, legislative, and educational efforts
since 1971, and have been involved in every abortion-related case before
the Supreme Court including Roe v. Wade. In fact, thirty years ago this
week AUL successfully defended the constitutionality of the Hyde
Amendment before the Supreme Court in Harris v. McRae, a landmark case
in defense of unborn human life.
I am here tonight because of AUL's strong opposition to the nomination
of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the United States Supreme Court.
Based on our research, we believe that Ms. Kagan will be an
agenda-driven justice on the Court, and that she will oppose even the
most widely-accepted protections for unborn human life.
These hearings have strengthened our opposition to Ms. Kagan's
appointment as the record shows she was willing to manipulate the facts
to pursue her own personal political agenda while serving as an advisor
to President Clinton. Indeed, she demonstrated a pattern of behavior of
letting her passion for a particular policy -- in this case
partial-birth abortion -- overwhelm her judgment.
Tonight I'd like to make three points:
First, I urge this Committee to officially investigate the discrepancies
that have arisen this week between Ms. Kagan's testimony and the written
record about her actions related to lobbying the American Medical
Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
during her tenure in the Clinton White House. The questions surrounding
this period are troubling and call into question Ms. Kagan's ability to
adopt an impartial judicial temperament.
Second, Ms. Kagan has an extensive record that demonstrates her
hostility to regulations of abortion and any protections for unborn
human life. We believe that Kagan would undermine any efforts by our
elected representatives to pass or defend even the most widely-accepted
commonsense regulations of abortion like bans on partial-birth abortion,
parental notification and informed consent. Her testimony this week,
particularly her response to Senator Feinstein that any regulation of
abortion requires the Doe health exception, has added to this concern.

Kagan's Abortion Distortion

National Review
When President Obama promised in his inaugural address to "restore
science to its rightful place," he never explained what that rightful
place would be. Documents recently released in connection with the
Supreme Court nomination of Solicitor General Elena Kagan suggest an
answer: wherever it can best be used to skew political debate and
judicial outcomes. The documents involved date from the Clinton White
House. They show Miss Kagan's willingness to manipulate medical science
to fit the Democratic party's political agenda on the hot-button issue
of abortion.
*Pro-Lifers Burst Planned Parenthood's Inflated Version of Bubble Zone Law*
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/jun/10063003.html
<http://ss.all.org/link.php?M=18096&N=892&L=5958&F=H>
Life Site News
In 2009 the Chicago City Council passed a bubble-zone ordinance muzzling
free speech in front of abortuaries at the behest of Planned Parenthood
(PP). Now local pro-lifers are saying that a series of recent incidents
show that the abortion giant is willing to lie to officers about the
provisions of the ordinance in order to silence pro-life counselors.
Rev. Patrick Mahoney Not Prosecuted Over Planned Parenthood Prayer

<http://ss.all.org/link.php?M=18096&N=892&L=5957&F=H>
Washington City Paper
Today, Rev. Patrick Mahoney appeared in court on the charge of "unlawful
entry" stemming from his June 8 arrest at D.C.'s downtown Planned
Parenthood clinic. Mahoney, for the uninitiated, took a knee for the
unborn on Planned Parenthood's sidewalk in defiance of the clinic's
signs declaring the entranceway "private property." Mahoney won't be
prosecuted on the charge---a rep from the United States Attorney's
Office for the District of Columbia confirmed that the office has
declined to prosecute the case.
