Kagan Reaffirms Extreme Pro-Abortion Position

WedNEWSday - June 30th, 2010

Moments ago, responding to a line of questions from Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA), Kagan confirmed her belief that “Roe (v. Wade) and Doe (v. Bolton) require” that any state “regulation” of abortion protect the “health” of women seeking abortion.  Kagan isolated the Supreme Court’s holding in the 2007 case, Gonzales v. Carhart — which upheld the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban of 2003 without a “health” exception — by stating that the Gonzales decision only pertained to a particular abortion procedure. 

“Elena Kagan, for the benefit of her supporters in the abortion lobby, reaffirmed her support for abortion in the extreme, without limitations or restrictions,” said Dr. Charmaine Yoest, President and CEO of Americans United for Life. “The American people don’t support this out-of-the-mainstream position and they don’t want a judge who has already pre-judged the issue.”

Under the Roe / Doe framework, an abortionist can offer any reason imaginable to justify performing an abortion at any time during a woman’s pregnancy.  However, while upholding the Partial Birth-Abortion Act of 2003 in Gonzales v. Carhart without the massive health loophole, the Court also arguably narrowed the unlimited health exception created in Doe. 

Therefore, abortion law is quite confused and is far from settled.  The fact that Kagan believes that the Roe / Doe health exception still applies unchanged to all laws pertaining to abortion indicates that she has not changed from the passionate ideologue who advocated against meaningful regulations of abortion while working for President Clinton. 

During her time in the White House, Kagan argued for a health exception that went further than the one required in Doe.  She argued that a woman should have access to a partial-birth abortion if her doctor felt it was the best procedure for her health – regardless of whether she actually “needed” an abortion at all…
