Jill Stanek: Turbulence surrounds Notre Dame 'abortion plane'

This is finals week for students at the University of Notre Dame.

But a new kind of buzz may be getting in the way of scoring good grades, and it's not illegal (yet, anyway).

For the past 10 days the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform has been conducting an air and land campaign in, around and over the Notre Dame campus to educate students and faculty exactly what its intended May 17 commencement honoree, President Barack Obama, supports by being "pro-choice."

On the roads are CBR's "Reproductive 'Choice' Trucks," six-paneled moving billboards with large signs such as these plastered on them:

And in the air at least three hours a day (six during finals week) has been an airplane trailing a large photo banner behind it, also showing in vivid detail what Obama means when he says he's pro-choice:

It is the plane that has caused the most commotion.

First, it is only pro-aborts who are bothered by the buzz. Pro-lifers have clear consciences and likely get a lift from the air support.

Exactly, it is their consciences that is bothering them.

If it makes the bad guys scream, it's having an effect.

Keep up the good work, folks!

abortion pictures like those break my heart. I can’t help thinking of the all the babies in my life that I have held and loved. friends, strangers, mine. So innocent. How can anyone do that to their own is beyond me.

Abortion is a moral cancer, and it slowly eats away the insides of man's conscience.

Keep the abortion plane flying: The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform

Excellent banner and excellent tactics!

It amazes me that some hearts are so hard that even images like this can't soften them.

It amazes me that some hearts are so hard that even images like this can't soften them.

I think what bothers them is that when more and more people see that it is actually a BABY being murdered and not just a "clump of cells", they tend to become pro-life. Most people can only ignore the truth for so long.

I go right by Notre Dame, 4 days a week.

I have seen the plane several times. I have never been able to make out what is says or see the picture.

They fly way too high!

[sweetiepiezer]

Fly that plane and fly it high.
WTG.

[wagglebee]

It sounds like it flies lower when it is over the campus.

[JRochelle]

I hope so!

And I have yet to see the billboards they said they were going to put up on the tollroad.

[wagglebee]

The article said that the billboards were scheduled to go up on May 4th, they might have been delayed. Let me know if you see them.

The bottom picture (it appears to be in front of a church or chapel) is clearly taken from ground level and the banner is perfectly visible.

If you’re catching flak, you’re over the target.

[JRochelle]

I read the link and I was looking for them closer to South Bend. I didn’t look for them before the Elkart exit.

I am not one to notice such things unless I look for them. I’ll let you know if the one at exit 92 is up next week.

[JRochelle]

Yes but I have not seen it that low before. I’m not sure if that is over the campus.
I know one day I was at St Joseph Hospital and they were flying on the south side of SB, not by ND.
