But I would say to the students that rather than protest, why don't they work up an e-mail and Twitter and Facebook and telephone campaign and see how many right to life meetings they could organize across the country to coincide with the exact same time of President Obama's commencement speech.

It would be a great sign of the country's interest if across America that day, millions of Americans took a few moments to consider the importance of protecting the unborn and to consider how wrong it was for President Obama to have favored infanticide when he was a state senator and to thank President Obama for raising the issue so that that day could become a day when the entire nation might, in a prayerful and solemn way, think about whether or not there is a right to life.

And our Declaration of Independence does say we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It may well be that President Obama may accidentally trigger the spark that creates a nationwide awareness on that day in a way he and his schedulers could never have imagined.

"And so maybe this day will turn out in a way to be a blessing by God, and maybe it'll turn out in a providential way to be exactly the right conversation to have at Notre Dame and across America."

Richard John Neuhaus anyone ?

This might be a start, but it will not get Congress’ attention. This will: http://pushbackuntil.com. We need a few hundred thousand - hopefully a million - people in D.C. this fall. Otherwise, we can only watch as Congress drives us deeper towards bankruptcy.

Man (or woman) your intersection and Push Back Until!

Good idea but first I would like to see a few hundred thousand pro-lifers at ND on May17.Sort of a warmup for our Fall campaign.

I am with you on that one. There must be someone who is planning on doing that.
