Why would a Catholic college have a problem with barring anti-life/pro-abortion speakers?
It’s called “funding.” ND did lose a lot of money from donors because of the Obomanation, and the others are scared.
These groups are mostly lay-run and outside the direct control of the bishops, who can only forbid them to collect money as Catholic institutions; but that, apparently, is enough at the moment to make them reconsider.
What’s an embryo or three?

“Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — General Electric Company is teaming up with Geron, a biotech firm that engages in human cloning, to form what could be the largest embryonic stem cell research conglomerate. The team wants to use the controversial research to determine whether some medicine are toxic.
Embryonic stem cells can only be obtained by destroying human life and pro-life advocates oppose that.
They also point to the successes seen in adult stem cell research and iPS cells, adult stem cells which are reverted to an embryonic-like state. Unlike embryonic stem cells, these cells have been successful in helping patients with a myriad of conditions.
GE and Geron will use existing embryonic stem cell lines to develop sample human cells that drug companies can use to test the toxicity of new drugs in the development process before animal testing or human trials.
“This could replace, to a large extent, animal trials.”
*see tagline. It’s wonder God doesn’t say tmo, “That’s all folks!”
Precisely! They're uncomfortable with the pro-life message, because that makes them look 'un-sophisticated' to their liberal friends.
