Protesters to Greet Obama at Notre Dame

Graduation festivities got under way at the University of Notre Dame on Saturday _ as well as another day of demonstrations over President Barack Obama’s appearance Sunday.

President Obama today ventures to America’s foremost Roman Catholic university, where the country’s deep divisions over abortion and stem-cell research have moved to the forefront in a time of war and recession. A storm blew up immediately after the University of Notre Dame invited Obama to address today’s commencement exercises. It still rages, with anti-abortion activists promising to disrupt the president’s appearance, where he was to receive an honorary degree. – from Chicago Tribune

GOP Chairman Michael Steele under fire for abortion comments

I guess he should have read the party’s plank on this subject.

A day after a magazine quoted him as saying abortion was “an individual choice,” GOP Chairman Michael Steele said Thursday he opposes abortion and that Roe v. Wade should be overturned. Steele, who was adopted, told GQ magazine that his mother had the option of getting an abortion or giving birth to him. “The choice issue cuts two ways,” Steele said in the wide-ranging interview published online Wednesday. “You can choose life, or you can choose abortion. You know, my mother chose life.” – From Fox

Obama’s life story turned into Anti-Abortion Ad

Someone will make a video response, and show a serial killer or Rush Limbaugh or whomever. Post your suggestions in comments.

While much of America was watching the inauguration of President Obama, BET viewers were seeing Obama’s life story turned into an anti-abortion ad. In the 41-second ad, sponsored by catholicvote.org, a camera slowly zooms in on a fetus in a womb as these words appear on the screen: “This child’s future is a broken home. He will be abandoned by his father. His single mother will struggle to raise him. Despite the hardships he will endure this child will become the 1st African-American President.” The ad ends with a photograph of President Obama and this message: “Life: Imagine the Potential.” – From Washington Post

In a move that is outraging pro-choice groups, a Catholic group has made a television commercial that turns Barack Obama’s life story into an anti-abortion ad. – From the Political Jungle
