“A senior House Democrat says senators should fully question Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan to make sure she supports abortion rights.” So we learn from this report. It continues, “New York Rep. Louise Slaughter leads the House Pro-Choice Caucus. Slaughter views as ‘troubling’ — her word — a 1997 memo Kagan wrote urging then-President Bill Clinton to back a ban on late-term abortions.”
Does it make me juvenile or hateful to say that maybe the Pro-Choice Caucus, especially in its defenses of partial-birth abortion, could have found a leader with another name?
