POLITICO: ND Response, an anti-abortion student group at Notre Dame University, announced that some seniors will boycott their commencement ceremony on May 17 in protest of the university’s decision to award President Barack Obama an honorary law degree.
In a statement, the group said that students “instead will hold a meditation in the university’s grotto” to protest Obama’s support for abortion and stem cell research.
“It’s not a political issue; this is an issue of human dignity, and it’s a Catholic issue,” graduating senior Greer Hannan said in the statement. [Source: Politico] Politico Staff | Wednesday, May 13, 2009
