Abortion clouds Obama event at Notre Dame
Activists promise to disrupt president's appearance; 19 protesters arrested

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama 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.

Students opposed to abortion rights were holding an all-night prayer vigil to protest Obama's visit. Earlier Saturday, more than 100 protesters gathered and 23 marched onto the campus. Police say they arrested 19 for trespassing and four were also charged with resisting law enforcement.


>>>Typical repukes..."storm onto campus" break the law and get arrested. Nothing like breaking the law. Aren't these people anti-'Merican for not supporting out President during a time of war?

2. No problem sending hundreds of thousands of soldiers to kill brown people for their oil either.

3. The double standard is amazing
Nothing wrong with frying people in the electric chair or sending them into hell on earth called Iraq...

Of course maybe God isn't pro-life. Remember that wholoe flood thing? Pretty much wiped out every living thing on earth except that Ark and some lady named Joan.

5. The small band of reactionary protest folks have had their moment in
the media.

Next up, Barack Obama will deliver an address to History. And History will listen.

My guess is all of the reactionaries' protest signs will not equal even one sentence in Obama's address. He will eclipse them without breaking a sweat, without lifting a prepositional phrase.
