STATEN ISLAND, NY, April 23 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today urged graduating students to remember those who, because of abortion, are not participating in ceremonies with them.
"This graduation season, Notre Dame University has chosen to honor a man who couldn't care less about protecting the unborn," said Fr. Pavone. "I urge young men and women receiving their degrees this year to take a different path and honor those who, but for abortion, would have been with them at graduation."
Past graduating classes have remembered the aborted in yearbooks and at commencement exercises through speeches, prayers, or just by leaving an empty chair draped with a cap and gown.
"Over 1 million students again will be missing from ceremonies," added Fr. Pavone. "Let's acknowledge those who could not celebrate with us, and let's work to let others live."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.
Amen!

I think, Obama should be allowed to make a speech at the ND as soon as Joe Biden invites Fr. Pavone to address a joint session of Congress. Jenkins might call that thing “dialogueing”.
I would LOVE to see Father Pavone run for office some day, though I know he won’t.
An entire generation has been murdered and as a result will be unable to fund Social Security and Medicare for the same selfish Baby Boomer generation which is largely responsible for the bloodshed.
Because he can’t.
