    Obama's Wife - an Abortion Advocate - Speaks at Catholic Villanova University

    VILLANOVA, PA, March 14, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In another example of a Catholic university hosting a pro-abortion political figure, Michelle Obama spoke before 2,500 people at a political rally for her husband, Democratic presidential candidate Barak Obama, at Villanova University's Jake Nevin Fieldhouse on March 13. 

    Mrs. Obama, an abortion advocate, endorsed partial-birth abortion in a 2004 fundraising letter for her husband.  Senator Obama supports Roe v. Wade, partial-birth abortion and embryonic stem cell research.  He has voted against parental notification and for increased contraceptive funding for teenagers.

    Joseph A. Esposito, director of the Cardinal Newman Society's Center for the Study of Catholic Higher Education, said, "The Obamas' record on abortion is clear and unequivocal.  We are disappointed with Villanova University.  For a Catholic university to provide a platform for a pro-abortion figure in the midst of a political campaign is simply wrong."

    • We had something similar to this here in San Antonio. Hilary Clinton was scheduled to speak at St. Mary's University. The local Archbishop reprimanded the school for allowing an abortion advocate to speak at a Catholic school.

    I'm uncertain of the details, but I believe he called for a cancelation of the speaking event and was ignored by the school. And, it seems popular opinion of Catholics questioned by the local nightly news was that the Bishop had no right to tell the school what to do.
