Notre Dame invited President Barack Obama to do their commencement speech on May 17 -- and if they don't take it back, one pro-life leader says he's going to raise the masses in protest.
Since his first week in office, Obama has made a string of executive orders, appointments and policy decisions that contradict Catholic teaching of the sanctity of life, said Joe Scheidler, national director of the Pro-Life Action League, in a press release on Christian Newswire.
He's "the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history," according to Scheidler, who notes Obama's decision to dedicate federal funds to harvest embryonic stem cells for research, overturning conscience protections for healthcare workers, and appointing Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius to head the Department of Health and Human Services among Obama's sins.

Get a bunch of big name donors to cut off the funds. That’s the only way you will succeed.
No, he hates ‘your’ babies ... he managed to keep two of his own ....
Up is down....black is white.....Jesuits are PATHETIC Catholics.
The president of Notre Dame is, unfortunately, a heretic, just like his predecessor.
The only possible way to stop this is to really make a lot of bad publicity for him.
Notre Dame has been extremely successful at fundraising. Their building program over the past few decades has been immense. Now that times are tighter and donations may be dropping, we need to put the pressure on.
Pro-live birth abortion at that.
Eugenics and zero population control... “This way to the showers”
Win one for the Gipper!
Not a Jesuit actually. Notre Dame is run by the Order of the Holy Cross.

But he’d might as well be a Jesuit, when it comes to running a Catholic university right out of the Church. His predecessor organized the infamous Land o’ Lakes Conference.
This story cannot be posted too much. Regardless of religious persuasion, we need to unite to stop this travesty.
I just wrote a letter to Bishop D’Arcy.
A friend of mine who's an alum of a Jesuit institution of higher learning (specifically, the one that's bought out by Saudi money - G'town), said she's never seen a place so ashamed and embarrassed by its Christian background. Sad.
They came for the little babies and I said nothing...
While your statement may be true, I don’t think ND is Jesuit.
How can this place consider it a Catholic Institution and allow such a hideous figure as this give the commencement? Values are what is important, not hearing some blather from a baby killer.

Notre Dame is not a Jebbie school. Until Hesbergh came along with ambitions to make Notre Dame into the “Catholic Harvard.” it was famous for piety.
I agree to infinity...Non Catholic here but I am OUTRAGED that he is being asked to speak there...
Maybe Touchdown Jesus can kick him through the goal posts!

Correction: Up is down....black is white..... some Jesuits are PATHETIC Catholics.
Fessio and Pacwa are notable exceptions to your generalizing which is no better than the wailing of the "majority of Catholics voted for Obama" cabal.
By the way Jenkins, the President of Notre Dame, is a Priest of Congregatio a Sancta Cruce, Congregation of Holy Cross.
Soon all Americans will be forced to make a choice—to do what is right or what is comfortable. You must wear the button of Obama or take up the pitchfork of reform. He is just a bit early in his call for the people to shake off their stupor and object to things they do not like about the Democratic Party (the real problem) and their leader, Obama.
We must de-fang the cobra by winning back the House and Senate. Without his majority Obama is powerless.
The plan must be:
1) Vote out or impeach traitor RINOS in the GOP.
2) Encourage conservatives to run and support them.
3) Break the back of the MSM Tyranny. Boycott Newspapers that are propaganda organs of the left, Boycott TV news and their sponsors that are leftists, Boycott Newsmagazines that support the left. Support Conservative Media.
