LinkNotre Dame professors call pro-life activism a ‘white supremacist strategy’
SOUTH BEND, Indiana, February 18, 2019 (
LifeSiteNews) ― After showing students pro-abortion propaganda, two University of Notre Dame faculty members suggested that the pro-life movement is fuelled by white supremacy.
The viewing of the propaganda film Reversing Roe and subsequent discussion was sponsored by Notre Dame pro-abortion student group Irish 4 Reproductive Health, the Gender Studies Program of Notre Dame, and Saint Mary's Department of Gender and Women's Studies.
In a
detailed report on the January 22 event, Ellie Gardey of Notre Dame’s Irish Rover newspaper recorded the professors’ jaw-dropping remarks.
According to Gardey, Dianne Pinderhughes, a Notre Dame professor of political science, began a panel discussion of Reversing Roe by stating that pro-lifers were most likely to be those who want to keep America “white.”

“(Abortion) is an issue that allows for an effort to control the place of women,” she said.
“I’m sure you figured that out, or you wouldn’t be at this event. But also how people will reproduce, what the population will be, what it will be like,” she continued.
“Those who push so aggressively for reproduction, continued reproduction without any controls, are those who are also more likely to be in support of making sure the country stays predominantly, overwhelmingly white.”
Pam Butler, the associate director of Notre Dame’s gender studies program, agreed that pro-life activism springs from white supremacist beliefs.
“(Abortion) got politicized in a moment of a white supremacist strategy of the right wing of the Republican Party to mobilize a very specific set of evangelical Christians in the United States as a base,” she said.
Butler, who identified herself as a “longtime reproductive rights activist and organizer” suggested that by “almost exclusively” on abortion, white feminists have been playing into the hands of “white supremacists.”
“The white-dominated feminist movement concerned with reproductive rights focuses almost exclusively on the right to an abortion. … It seems like we’re capitulating to the framing of the issue that was defined by the 1980’s evangelical white supremacists,” she said.
Notre Dame history professor Karen Graubart, a white woman who identifies as “queer,” shared with her audience her “eugenic” use of in vitro fertilization.

“Fifteen years ago, I decided that my career was finally on track. I was a queer single woman with a great job at an Ivy League institution about to get tenure, and I decided that I needed to have a baby …,” she told participants.
“I went to a sperm bank, which is like the center of eugenics, right, that’s what sperm banks are … I was able to get myself pregnant, have a baby, and then create a life for myself using that.”
The Notre Dame history professor contrasted the “privileged” access to reproductive services she has experienced to that she believes is the lot of poor women of color. Just like “Reversing Roe,” Graubart suggested women with money will always have abortions.
In the event of Roe being struck down, Graubart said, “those of us who have any access to funds are going to be able to have abortions forever. And it’s basically just going to be poor women and predominantly women of color who already get inadequate health care, who are treated poorly by doctors, who are never going to be able to go in and argue for their right to this case.”
‘This pro-abortion event was unprecedented at Notre Dame’
William Dempsey is the Chairman of Sycamore Trust, a group of Notre Dame alumni and alumnae committed to defending and preserving the university’s Catholic character. He told LifeSiteNews that the establishment of the gender studies is to blame for abortion propagandizing at Notre Dame.
“This pro-abortion event was unprecedented at Notre Dame,” he said by email.
Dempsey stated that it testified to the character of the gender studies program at the school and the growing influence of Irish 4 Reproductive Health in promoting contraception and freedom to abort.
“There was not a word about the central role of the Catholic Church or the burning faith of pro-life Catholics and Evangelicals for the simple reason that no one was allowed on the panel who would speak it,” he said.
“Irish 4 has now been welcomed by the University as a sponsor of a pro-abortion event even as it is suing the university in federal district court to compel it to offer students free abortifacients. How bizarre!”
Pro-life educator Ryan Bomberger, who is black, told LifeSiteNews that the suggestions the pro-life movement is fuelled by white supremacy would be “laughable if it weren’t about the slaughter of over 62 million human lives since Roe.”
“Rabidly pro-abortion Notre Dame professors ... calling pro-lifers ‘racists’ for tireless efforts to protect mothers and their unborn children, regardless of race or ethnicity, is truly a Twilight Zone moment,” he said.
“It’s a bizarre form of projection as they defend a violent institution actually birthed in eugenic racism and elitism. What worldview does the University of Notre Dame even hold to hire those whose extremist ideology is in direct conflict with Catholicism?” Bomberger asked.
“Invoking Reversing Roe — the crockumentary of the century — shows how the historically-challenged will rely on any lie to promote their brand of fake feminism. This pro-abortion propaganda pablum, from Netflix, conveys a political and social environment where only middle-aged white males are anti-abortion; over 20 are featured.”
Bomberger noted that the thousands of pregnancy help centers run by women are never mentioned in the film. Also, Reversing Roe features only two pro-life women, both of them white: Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee, and Eagle Forum’s late Phyllis Schlafly.
The
Radiance Foundation member indicated that the filmmakers had even whitewashed the pro-life movement.
“Funny. The makers of Reversing Roe never mention
Dr. Mildred Jefferson, who the first black woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School and co-founder of the NRLC (National Right to Life Committee),” Bomberger observed.
“They show all kinds of diversity (gender/age/race) on the pro-abortion side, of course. Both the film and the Notre Dame panel of pro-abortion professors avoided the patriarchal fact that seven white men in black SCOTUS robes gave us the violence of Roe in the first place.”
Bomberger also observed that neither the Notre Dame professors nor the film had addressed the disproportionate numbers of African-American babies who are aborted.
“Neither the panelists nor the Reversing Roe crockumentary talk about how, for decades, more black babies have been aborted than born alive in New York City where eugenics spawned Planned Parenthood,” he said.
“Instead, they color the narrative by ignoring the diversity of the pro-life movement to satisfy a desperate attempt to defend Roe’s indefensible and disproportionate violence against black lives,” he continued.
“Death has always been the ultimate (and natural) consequence of the putridity of racism. The abortion industry, funded annually by hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, kills unborn black lives at rates (as in NYC) up to five times higher than the majority population — isn’t that white supremacy?”
The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute has published data showing that in 2014
there were 390 abortions performed on “black non-Hispanic” women for every 1,000 live births. By contrast, there were 121 abortions performed on “white non-Hispanic” women for every 1,000 live births. Of the American women who had abortions in 2014, 39 percent were white, 28 percent were black, 25 percent were Hispanic, and 9 percent were Other.
“In other words,” said Terri Webster of
The Blaze, “62 percent of abortions were performed on non-whites.”

The Prophecy of the Two Columns
St. Don Bosco is also known for his many prophetic dreams which you can read about
here. His most famous dream regards future troubles for the Church and is known as the Prophecy of the Two Columns. In his words, here is the dream:
"Try to picture yourselves with me on the seashore, or, better still, on an outlying cliff with no other land in sight. The vast expanse of water is covered with a formidable array of ships in battle formation, prows fitted with sharp spear-like beaks capable of breaking through any defense. All are heavily armed with cannons, incendiary bombs, and firearms of all sorts - even books - and are heading toward one stately ship, mightier than them all. As they try to close in, they try to ram it, set it afire, and cripple it as much as possible.
"This stately vessel is shielded by a flotilla escort. Winds and waves are with the enemy. In this midst of this endless sea, two solid columns, a short distance apart, soar high into the sky: one is surmounted by a statue of the Immaculate Virgin at whose feet a large inscription reads: Help of Christians; the other, far loftier and sturdier, supports a [Communion] Host of proportionate size and bears beneath it the inscription Salvation of believers."The flagship commander - the Roman Pontiff [the Pope]- seeing the enemy's fury and his auxiliary ships very grave predicament, summons his captains to a conference. However, as they discuss their strategy, a furious storm breaks out and they must return to their ships. When the storm abates, the Pope again summons his captains as the flagship keeps on its course. But the storm rages again. Standing at the helm, the Pope strains every muscle to steer his ship between the two columns from whose summits hang many anchors and strong hooks linked to chains."The entire enemy fleet closes in to intercept and sink the flagship at all costs. They bombard it with everything they have: books and pamphlets, incendiary bombs, firearms, cannons. The battle rages ever more furious. Beaked prows ram the flagship again and again, but to no avail, as, unscathed and undaunted, it keeps on its course. At times a formidable ram splinters a gaping hole into its hull, but, immediately, a breeze from the two columns instantly seals the gash."Meanwhile, enemy cannons blow up, firearms and beaks fall to pieces, ships crack up and sink to the bottom. In blind fury the enemy takes to hand-to-hand combat, cursing and blaspheming. Suddenly the Pope falls, seriously wounded. He is instantly helped up but, struck down a second time, dies. A shout of victory rises from the enemy and wild rejoicing sweeps their ships. But no sooner is the Pope dead than another takes his place. The captains of the auxiliary ships elected him so quickly that the news of the Pope's death coincides with that of his successor's election. The enemy's self-assurance wanes."Breaking through all resistance, the new Pope steers his ship safely between the two columns and moors it to the two columns; first to the one surmounted by the Host, and then to the other, topped by the statue of the Virgin. At this point something unexpected happens. The enemy ships panic and disperse, colliding with and scuttling each other. Some auxiliary ships which had gallantly fought alongside their flagship are the first to tie up at the two columns."Many others, which had fearfully kept far away from the fight, stand still, cautiously waiting until the wrecked enemy ships vanish under the waves. Then, they too head for the two columns, tie up at the swinging hooks, and ride safe and tranquil beside their flagship. A great calm now covers the sea."And in conclusion to this dream:"Very grave trials await the Church. What we have suffered so far is almost nothing compared to what is going to happen. The enemies of the Church are symbolized by the ships which strive their utmost to sink the flagship. Only two things can save us in such a grave hour: devotion to Mary and frequent Communion. Let us do our very best to use these two means and have others use them everywhere."Many interpret John Bosco's vision as regarding the trials the Church has endured, and is continuing to endure, at the dawn of the third millennium; namely, rampant secularism and apostasy which has led to attacks against the Church and Her teachings. St. Don Bosco, pray for us!
