Report: Kagan Also Lobbied AMA To Change Position On Partial-Birth Abortion

If the law's on your side, argue the law.

if the facts are on your side, argue the facts.

If neither is on your side -- lobby friendly industry groups to change their reporting of the facts.

Now, according to a report Americans United for Life furnished to LifeNews.com, Kagan’s lobbying for changes to medical associations’ positions while in the White House is further evidenced by an email found in her White House documents.

...

Kagan discussed with other Clinton administration officials whether the AMA could reverse its policy saying there is not an identified situation in which partial-birth abortion is the only appropriate method of abortion. The AMA also noted ethical concerns with partial-birth abortions and said that it should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

“We agreed to do a bit of thinking about whether we (in truth, HHS) could contribute to that effort [convincing the AMA to reverse their policy]," Kagan wrote in the email.

Testilying.
