WASHINGTON (AP) - Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers pledged support in 1989 for a constitutional amendment banning abortions except when necessary to save the life of the mother, according to material given to the Senate on Tuesday.

"If Congress passes a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution that would prohibit abortion except when it was necessary to prevent the death of the mother, would you actively support its ratification by the Texas Legislature," asked an April 1989 questionnaire sent out by the Texans United for Life group.

Miers checked "yes" to that question, and all of the group's questions, including whether she would oppose the use of public moneys for abortions and whether she would use her influence to keep "pro-abortion" people off city health boards and commissions.

The survey was part of the material sent to the Senate with Miers' Supreme Court questionnaire, according to two sources, one working with the White House and the other with the Senate, speaking on condition on anonymity.

1. Well, this makes her a BIG FAT LIAR!!!!!

She told Chuck Schumer yesterday that "NO ONE KNOWS MY OPINION ON ROE." Apparently in 1989, she let TUFL know in no uncertain terms how she feels.

This is it--she is TOAST. The moderate GOP who do not want to make a big deal about the abortion issue, but who quietly support it, will vote NO on Harriet because of her lack of experience, the Dems will vote NO on this issue, and if she gets out of committee, I will be AMAZED.

Next up, Alberto Gonzales????
