President Obama is going to give the Commencement Address at the very Catholic University of Notre Dame. For many conservative Catholics it’s become a big problem because of the President’s pro-choice views.
Read below from the National Right to Life organization. Their Vice-President attended Notre Dame and his eight children went there as well. How do you say oy-vey in Catholic?
"Notre Dame's invitation to the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history is a betrayal of the University's mission and an affront to all who believe in the sanctity and dignity of human life," said Anthony J. Lauinger, National Right to Life Vice-President (and father of seven Notre Dame alumni and one current student.) "We call upon Father Jenkins to rescind the invitation and stand up for the millions of unborn children who face death under Obama Administration policies."
In a letter to Father Jenkins, Mr. Lauinger pointed out that, through words and actions, Barack Obama has launched a comprehensive anti-life agenda that targets decades of life-saving policies while treating the views of pro-life Americans with complete contempt. The full text of Mr. Lauinger's letter is printed below.
"As a Notre Dame parent and supporter, I am outraged by this invitation to Barack Obama. I have apologized to my eight children for the poor guidance I provided them when I encouraged them to enroll at Notre Dame," Lauinger said.

It’s important you understand why I published part of the National Right to Life release on this matter. You see those comments represent exactly what the traditional pro-life community thinks about President Obama. From a voting standpoint it’s going to be interesting to see how many pro-life Catholics and Evangelicals turn on Obama in four years because of his pro-choice moves since he became President. That is worth watching in the future.
