I am watching B. Hussein Obama's commencement speech at Notre Dame, and I was glad to hear people stand up and shout. I normally do not condone that kind of stuff, but what our President supports is inhuman (no, I don't mean inhumane). He supports killing a baby after it is born (partial birth abortion) just because the mother decides that a baby is too much of a burden to her lifestyle. Abortion is an unnatural, and selfish act. More selfish than anything else in the world.

Some people have decided that getting arrested would be worth making a point, and I congratulate them. They are doing what is right. I would do the same if he was at my school.

So thanks to all of you who interrupted a man who supports the murder of millions of babies. You are true heroes. Just as Rosa Parks refused to move, it is time that we refuse to move. We also have morals on our side as did Dr. King and Ms. Parks. We will win, and we will not be silenced, because we must speak for those who never will be able to.

In an interview on Fox News, Obama said, "On an issue like partial-birth abortion, I strongly believe that the state can properly restrict late-term abortions. I have said so repeatedly. All I've said is we should have a provision to protect the health of the mother, and many of the bills that came before me didn't have that."

and from the debates (vs McCain)

OBAMA: If it sounds incredible that I would vote to withhold lifesaving treatment from an infant, that’s because it’s not true. There was a bill that said you have to provide lifesaving treatment. The fact is that there was already a law on the books in Illinois that required providing lifesaving treatment, which is why not only myself but pro-choice Republicans and Democrats voted against it. With respect to partial-birth abortion, I am completely supportive of a ban on late-term abortions, as long as there’s an exception for the mother’s health and life, and this bill did not contain that exception

"The Rev. John Jenkins, Notre Dame's president, introduced Obama and praised the president for not being "someone who stops talking to those who disagree with him." Jenkins said too little attention has been paid to Obama's decision to speak at an institution that opposes his abortion policy".

Go Barack Obama!

The more you drive these people crazy (like the "pro life" OP), the more I know you are doing the right thing.

I am so grateful you are our president! Obama 2012!

He was great and they loved him. No graduates walked out, two protestors were escorted out and they just reported that about ten students (non-grads) walked out.

Better to have no protest if you can't make an impact. Not much impact seen today.

Can't rep you again right now tank and meson, but funny posts!
