What You Should Know About Notre Dame Professor’s Promotion of Abortion to Students
The National Catholic Register ^ | 10/12/22 | W. Joseph DeReuil

Notre Dame’s Tamara Kay claims she’s promoting abortion not as a professor but ‘as a private citizen, so that’s been cleared by the university.’

A professor in the University of Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs has offered to assist Notre Dame students to obtain abortion pills — against both Notre Dame policy and, until recently, against Indiana law.

Notre Dame officials have sought to dissociate themselves from her statements, but they have done little to prevent her actions.

As it became clear this spring that Dobbs would overturn Roe, a group of Notre Dame professors, led by Tamara Kay of the Keough School of Global Affairs, began to voice their complaints, largely through publishing a series of op-eds in various national publications, many of which were then promoted by ND News. After three Notre Dame students published an article, “Notre Dame Should Not Promote Pro-Abortion Views,” in National Review Online (May 31), the promotion of these articles by ND News ceased, but the on-the-ground work of Kay began.

Imagine a college professor publically stating she will help students obtain firearms, against college policy and against the law. Oh, and there’s an enumerated right to keeping and bearing firearms.

I seem to recall a high Catholic leader telling us to chill on the subject.

Maybe it’s me, but every strongly pro abortion chick is a chick I would never have sex with.
They’re all ugly and/or fat. (not counting internally ugly)

That’s a wise statement. Aside from the obvious murder aspect, it shows a selfishness and a lack of compassion for the man involved.
