Notre Dame Students and Activists Protest Obama Commencement Invitation

From The Indianapolis Star:

Hundreds of anti-abortion advocates protested on the University of Notre Dame campus against the school’s decision to award an honorary degree to President Barack Obama.

Speakers at Sunday’s rally outside the school’s Main Building called for the honorary degree to be rescinded because Obama’s stances on abortion and stem cell research are counter to Roman Catholic teachings.

Anti-abortion groups and several Catholic bishops have criticized the university’s decision to honor Obama when he visits to give the commencement address on May 17.

The campus protest was organized by ND Response, a coalition of student groups formed in response to the Obama invitation. Organizers distributed white carnations, pamphlets and urged people to write letters to university President the Rev. John Jenkins.

What the story fails to report is that while hundreds of students are opposed to Obama’s visit,
A poll shows that 97% fo the graduating class at Notre Dame support having Obama, the baby killer, speak on campus.
These students should be thrown off campus.
How they can study there for 4 years and not be outraged by the invitation of a pro abortion president is beyond me.
The real shame is the attitude of these students . After 4 years of a Catholic education they still haven’t gotten the point
Abortion isn’t a subject for discussion for Christians. It is a matter of faith.
If students can’t get that through their thick skulls they need to look for another University.
