If Notre Dame can overlook President Obama’s different opinion on the abortion issue, why shouldn’t he accept their invitation to speak at their commencement? That issue probably wouldn’t be the subject of his address. It’s not for “outsiders” to decide.

I might buy your argument if Obama was one of those "..I'm personally opposed, but..." types; however, he is the most pro-abortion man ever to hold the office of president. The question for Notre Dame is, do their moral principles matter more than the prestige of having a president speak at their commencement? Another possible question is, does a staunch advocate of abortion on demand and without apology deserve the prestige of speaking at Notre Dame?

I agree with Mama.
Ms. Hounshell states " It’s not for “outsiders” to decide." Since when is the Catholic Church an "outsider" at Notre Dame?
