Don't Hate, Notre Dame...Appreciate



At Notre Dame, some folks were upset that Obama spoke at their graduation.

Somewhere down the road, they confused his pro-choice stance with "kill the unborn babies". But if they stopped and processed the reality, they would see that Obama supports the choice, the choice a woman makes about her life.

I've always believed abortion was the woman's choice to make. However, everyone has their beliefs regardless of how sane or crazy it is. Maybe after hearing Obama's speech, some folks will be open to what he's saying.

Here's some of what he said today:

"Maybe we won't agree on abortion, but we can still agree that this is a heart-wrenching decision for any woman to make, with both moral and spiritual dimensions.

So let's work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions by reducing unintended pregnancies, and making adoption more available, and providing care and support for women who do carry their child to term. Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause, and make sure that all of our health care policies are grounded in clear ethics and sound science, as well as respect for the equality of women."
