Kagan’s Clone Wars

Posted on | June 10, 2010 | 4 Comments

They’re not dead babies, they’re just clumps of cells:

White House memos from 1997, when Elena Kagan was a top domestic policy advisor to President Clinton, show that Kagan — nominated to the Supreme Court by President Obama — recommended that the Clinton administration permit cloning of human embryos for research purposes.
Writing just months after Scottish researchers had announced the birth of a cloned sheep, Kagan and another Clinton aide recommended that the president announce a ban on cloning that would lead to the birth of human infants, but emphasized that the policy “would not ban the creation of cloned embryos for research purposes.” . . . .

    So if a woman was implanted with a cloned embryo, we would give her a forced abortion? What about “choice”?!

    Meanwhile, we would use cloned embryos as raw material, like copper or timber? Because corporations can be trusted, I suppose.

    That seems exactly backwards.

    Did you ever really think Kagan was pro life? She gave some political advice once that maybe infantcide was a loser for a candidate to support. That is hardly pro life.
