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
