Found this in a church bulletin link. The pastor who wrote it used to stand in front of a local abortion clinic praying. The clinic is no longer there:

(From that link in the church bulletin) :

But what about Notre Dame? The analogy I use is this: what if a President was pro-life and had qualities and policies
that gave him wide support and an affinity with Catholic teaching but he was a segregationist? If the issue was segregation

and not abortion would it still be ok for Notre Dame to honor him for his other accomplishments and positions that
are in line with Catholic social thought? I think not. Most of us would find it offensive to honor even if tacitly a person
who pushes for the separation of the races. No one would be arguing that we are honoring his other policies and not his
racist one. No that one policy would be like a giant weed in a flower garden. All you could notice is the presence of the
weed. If Notre Dame honored a person who happened to be a segregationist it would be offensive. The school’s action
in this present case is just as offensive.

Some argue that the two issues are not the same. No they are not. Abortion if a far greater injustice than segregation.

“The collision of a fundamental and irrevocable moral teaching of Christianity and the US Political System is pitting us against one another. Our obligation is to pray that the Holy Spirit show us a way through” - those gates.

From the link HungarianGypsy posted.
