I was at the Grotto on the Notre Dame campus Sunday afternoon when President Barack Obama received his honorary doctor of laws degree and gave his commencement speech.
At the same time, Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life officiated an alternative service for those who couldn't bear to see such a prominent enabler of child murder lauded at a Catholic university.
Whoops, was "prominent enabler of child murder" the sort of "demonizing" Obama preached against in his homily?
I did indeed think at first it was a homily. While listening to Fr. Pavone with one ear, I listened to Obama with an earpiece in the other ear thanks to a friend who placed her cell phone by her television.
Obama kept fading in and out. I only caught:Your generation must decide how to save God's creation. ... We too often seek advantage over others. ... Too many of us view life only through the lens of immediate self-interest. ... The strong too often dominate the weak ... admirable conviction about the sacredness of life ... women who do carry their children to term [emphasis mine] ... co-exist with ... civility ... to give future generations the same chance that you had ... the Golden Rule - the call to treat one another as we wish to be treated. The call to love ... realize the dream of civil rights for all of God's children ... all children of God ... the same love of family, the same fulfillment of a life well lived ...
Wow, I thought, maybe Notre Dame President John Jenkins was right: Exalting Obama had indeed provided an opportunity to dialogue about abortion. They must have had one powerful conversation during the mile-long limo trip from the South Bend airport to the Joyce Center. Obama had been converted!

First, Obama is not pro-life, that's for sure. But was George W. Bush pro-life? If so, then please tell me this: didn't he appoint pro-abort Roberto Gonzales to be the nation's top cop -- Attorney General of the United States?
Again, I say that you can repeat a lie many times and eventually it will come out sounding like the truth. You can't obfuscate the truth by telling lies, eventually it comes around to facing up to the big lie that was first told. History will convict Obama of his arrogance and his denial of protection of the most helpless. Those who are most effected by abortion, ironically, are the black families of the world. They are they most solicited and have the highest rate of abortion. This is what the proabortion people are doing to Africa in exporting birth control and other abortifaciants under the guise of fighting AIDS. They are systematically sterilizing African women who will never be able to have children...thanks to global pressure toward global warming.
Fads have a way of fading away. ProDeath was a fad...that took millions of lives. Are we finally awakening to the TRUTH that can never be obfuscated or undermined???
