Kagan?s influential medical opinion

By Alliance Alert

Shannen Coffin writing at National Review Online / The Corner: "Elena Kagan?s explanation of her involvement in editing ACOG?s statement of policy on the abortion method was that she was merely helping ACOG put into words what they had been expressing all along in meetings with the White House. ... The White House clearly meddled in the deliberations of a supposedly (but clearly not) nonpartisan medical association on a key issue of medical fact. Whether or not ACOG had ever expressed the views that Kagan put into words ? and there are reasons to question that assertion ? the White House crossed a line in pushing the medical debate. It politicized science ? a charge that is thrown around frequently by Democrats, and practice that is used more frequently by them." | Related: Coffin's original article: Kagan?s abortion distortion
