"I first met Barb and her husband, Jack, nearly 35 years ago and have worked closely with them to protect innocent unborn children ever since. For 8 years, I worked with the Willkes on legislation to ban the horrific practice of partial-birth abortion. With their significant help and influence, the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act passed Congress, was signed into law by President Bush, was upheld by the United States Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote, and is now the law of the land."

"As a U.S. Senator, Sam relentlessly fought to protect the unborn. He was the principle sponsor of the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act, the Prenatally Diagnosed Conditions Awareness Act, the Human Cloning Prohibition Act, and others. He has also worked to advance the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, and the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act."

"Another very serious concern is her actions as an adviser to President Clinton were instrumental in keeping partial-birth abortion legal in the 1990s. During her time in the White House, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists privately briefed Ms. Kagan on the partial-birth abortion procedure. Their opinion was clear and lacing equivocation."

"Kagan has a history of misrepresenting facts to push her liberal agenda, including her efforts while working in the Clinton administration to change statements of two medical associations to withhold the truth about partial-birth abortion. This is interesting. Both groups had a firm position, and she influenced a change in that position. During the debate over the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act, Kagan wrote a memo to President Clinton in December 1996 objecting to the release of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists—ACOG—proposed statement that partial-birth abortion is never medically necessary. This is what their position was. They came out and said that it was never necessary."
