Obama
Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan
Advocated
For Cloning Humans To Experiment On
We already know something of the
unusual ideas
of human rights and commerce held by
U.S.
Solicitor General, Elena Kagan. Kagan
has been
nominated by President Obama to
succeed the
retiring Justice John Paul Stevens.
Kagan also
served in the Clinton White House,
where she
left an extensive paper trail of
documented
opinions. Most interesting, perhaps,
is
Kagan’s support for cloning human
beings.
Clinton Library documents show that
she
opposed any effort by Congress to
prevent
human beings from being cloned
specifically to
create embryos that would be
experimented
upon, then killed. Gallup recently
reported
that 88% of Americans oppose cloning
human beings. Kagan does not. We also
know,
from her record as Solicitor General
in the
Obama administration, that there are
circumstances in which Elena Kagan
would vote
to ban political books... Here we can
clearly
see that the kind of disregard for
human
rights Kagan denied in her advocacy of
cloning
human beings extends to property
rights and to
suppression of free speech. All our
Bill of
Rights guarantees–including freedom of
speech and assembly–can only be safe
in a
constitutional order that respects
human life.
We must stand for free markets, but
those free
markets themselves are supported by
respect
for those inalienable rights with
which we are
endowed by our Creator. When those
rights are
denied by government, destructive
forces are
unleashed against free markets as
well.
