McCorvey, 61, threw her support Friday behind those protesting President Barack Obama’s invitation to speak here today.

A crowd of protesters is descending on South Bend for Obama’s commencement visit.

Ironic, remaining standing for God Bless America.

Wonder if they are going to have a prayer.

Absolutely. Rolling out the red carpet and giving a man a Doctor of Law Honoris Causa as a way to "engage" in "dialog" resembles a star-struck girl giving away her intimate favors as a get-acquainted offer.

I’m back from the pro-life vigil held at a local Catholic Church in Southwest Ohio. We prayed for the truth to be revealed at Notre Dame and across the nation. I am not Catholic, but I believe we can be of one mind and one voice as believers in Jesus Christ as we defend these innocent babies in our nation and throughout the world. Jesus Christ would NEVER choose abortion for His precious creations. I believe that He will use this occasion today as a way to enlighten more and more people who have been apathetic or ignorant about life causes. May His Name be glorified in all the events of this day and may we, His people, called by His Name, humble ourselves and pray for our nation to return to a culture of life.

Me too! My first thought when reading the headline was, how wonderful. Not that she was arrested, but that she was willing.

Roe herself, whose case was a lie pushed by the ACLU types... the same with Sandra Cano of Doe v. Bolton... who was also there.

Speaking of Sandra Cano of Jane Doe v. Bolton, her affidavit:

Death started with lies... same beast, different name.

OT: BTW, Fr. Weslin (the older priest arrested on the stretcher), was a 20 year Army vet, who went into the priesthood after his wife was killed in an auto accident (they had adopted two kids back when). He changed his home into a place for pregnant/unwed mothers years ago and has helped many.

God bless you and thanks for your witness.

Indeed, he has this position as Israel of old was tested by Pharoah and Herod. It is time to take a stand.

We know what the Lord says about being lukewarm...

“Big Media buries this story while Free Republic puts this story in Breaking News.”

LMSM doesn’t want this bad publicity for Obama.

Do you think it is mostly the wealthy Catholics not that involved in prolife matters who fund Notre Dame?

Jane Roe was never arrested until she became pro-life.
