COULD THE KAGAN NOMINATION BE ABORTED DUE TO KAGAN'S NEWLY DISCOVERED PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION DECEPTION? YES!

NRO'S COFFIN QUOTED AT POWER LINE VIA GLENN:

A key event in the politics of partial-birth abortion was a report by a "select panel" of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), a supposedly nonpartisan physicians' organization. That report included this statement, which the Supreme Court found highly persuasive in striking down Nebraska's partial-birth abortion ban:

ACOG declared that the partial-birth-abortion procedure "may be the best or most appropriate procedure in a particular circumstance to save the life or preserve the health of a woman." The Court relied on the ACOG statement as a key example of medical opinion supporting the abortion method.

Here is the shocking part: the ACOG report, as originally drafted, said almost exactly the opposite. The initial draft said that the ACOG panel "could identify no circumstances under which this procedure . . . would be the only option to save the life or preserve the health of the woman." That language horrified the rabidly pro-abortion Elena Kagan, then a deputy assistant to President Clinton for domestic policy. This is what Kagan wrote in a memo to her superiors in the Clinton White House:

Todd Stern just discovered that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) is thinking about issuing a statement (attached) that includes the following sentence: "[A] select panel convened by ACOG 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." This, of course, would be disaster -- not the less so (in fact, the more so) because ACOG continues to oppose the legislation. It is unclear whether ACOG will issue the statement; even if it does not, there is obviously a chance that the draft will become public.

So Kagan took matters into her own hands: incredibly, she herself appears to have written the key language that eventually appeared in the ACOG report...

IF SHE HAS AN OUNCE OF SELF-RESPECT LEFT - AND ANY RESPECT FOR THE NATION, THE SCOTUS AND THE TRUTH, THEN KAGAN SHOULD WITHDRAW HER NOMINATION AND RESIGN AS SOLICITOR GENERAL.

BTW:

I BETCHYA A MILLION BUCKS THAT CLINTON AND OBAMA KNEW ABOUT KAGAN'S DELIBERATE DECEPTION AND THAT IT CONTRIBUTED TO THEIR HIGH ESTEEM OF HER.
