Some folks in Nebraska do not seem at all offended to have an abortionist in their neighborhood, but they are very offended that they are shown images of the carnage.

Thread by me.

Abortion foes' lurid display irks neighbors

City officials and frustrated neighbors are trying to figure out whether a group of abortion opponents is violating Bellevue's new picketing ordinance with its "truth truck."

The truck displays huge, graphic photos of aborted fetuses, and protesters have been repeatedly driving it through the neighborhood of a woman who works at an abortion clinic.

Many residents of the Nob Hill neighborhood near Virginia Avenue and North Fourth Street are fed up with the truck. One lay down in front of the truck this week to prevent it from re-entering the street in front of their houses. He later was arrested.

Larry Donlan, director of Rescue the Heartland, which opposes abortion, said Bellevue residents should expect to see him and other protesters more this spring and summer. The group plans to protest in the neighborhood a couple of times a month for at least an hour. . .

Things continue to get more interested at Notre Dame.

A former Ambassador to the Vatican, Mary Ann Glendon, is refusing an award because of Zero and the thirty pieces of silver that Jenkins sold his soul for won't come close to making up for the over $8 MILLION in donations that have been pulled.

BREAKING: Mary Ann Glendon Refuses Notre Dame Honor over Obama

NOTRE DAME, Indiana, April 27, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Mary Ann Glendon, the former United States ambassador to the Vatican who was set to receive the University of Notre Dame's Laetare Medal at the school's commencement on May 17, has written to University president Fr. John Jenkins saying that she will not attend the ceremony or accept the award after all.

Glendon says her refusal stems from the University's persistence in choosing to honor Obama with an honorary degree, despite U.S. Bishops Conference policy that forbids honoring pro-abortion politicians. . .

Notre Dame Loses $8.2 Million in Withheld Donations over Obama Scandal

DEARBORN, MI, April 27, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - On the same day that former Vatican ambassador Mary Ann Glendon announced that she has decided to refuse Notre Dame's Laetare Medal due to the university's invitation of Obama to receive an honorary degree at this year's commencement ceremony, a group protesting the decision has announced that the university has also lost millions in donations because of the scandal.

Organizers of ReplaceJenkins.com, an online effort urging alumni and donors to the University of Notre Dame to withhold donations, announced Monday that they have personally confirmed over $8.2 million in withheld donations. The URL of the website - ReplaceJenkins.com - is a reference to the main demand of the group - that Notre Dame president Fr. John Jenkins, who has firmly stood by the university's decision to honor Obama, be replaced with someone who will uphold the Catholic identity of the university.

The website has received over 900 pledges from alumni and donors promising to withhold future donations. Several of the largest gifts include estate bequests to the University that have been removed from donors' wills. . .
