Elena Kagan, Barack Obama’s nominee to a lifetime post on the Supreme Court of the United States, financially supported a pro-abortion group and even acknowledged being a member of the same.

Kagan has contributed financially to the National Partnership for Women and Families (NPWF), an organization whose goal, in its own words, is “to increase women’s access to…reproductive health services and block attempts to limit reproductive rights…and to give every woman access to…abortion services….”[1] Kagan “listed membership in” NPWF in a questionnaire she submitted in connection with her judicial nomination in 1999.[2]

Judith Lichtman, Senior Advisor for the NPWF, who believes “[e]fforts to limit coverage of abortion services are really attempts to deny women access to health care services,”[3] wrote a letter “wholeheartedly” supporting Kagan’s Solicitor General nomination, whom she describes as a “friend and colleague.”[4]

The NPWF is reportedly connected to EMILY’s List — dedicated to electing pro-abortion female candidates — and NARAL Pro-Choice America — a group dedicated to promoting increased access to abortion. The latter organization opposes even parental notification laws for minors seeking to have abortions.
