Jill Stanek: Turbulence surrounds Notre Dame 'abortion plane'

This is finals week for students at the University of Notre Dame.

But a new kind of buzz may be getting in the way of scoring good grades, and it's not illegal (yet, anyway).

On the roads are CBR's "Reproductive 'Choice' Trucks," six-paneled moving billboards with large signs such as these plastered on them:

It is the plane that has caused the most commotion. . .
