Blessed is the man who walks
not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful... Psalm 1:1 In response to the University of Notre Dame's invitation to Barack
Obama to deliver the commencement address and receive an honorary degree on May 17, the Pro-Life Action League has erected
two large billboards located near the South Bend, Ind., campus.  The billboards, to go up May 4 on the Indiana Toll Road, Interstate 80/90, will read, "NOTRE DAME: Obama is pro abortion
choice. How dare you honor him," along with a picture of a baby in utero sucking its thumb.
The League and its
national director Joe Scheidler, a Notre Dame alumnus and former teacher there, already have called on the university's
president, Rev. John Jenkins, to rescind his invitation to Obama. They have protested at the university, and have said they
will return to decry Obama's appearance on May 17 if Jenkins' invite stands. Nearly 60 Catholic bishops and scores
of pro-life leaders have written Jenkins, urging him to cancel Obama's talk, or otherwise protested his decision. "As
scandalous as the Obama invitation is, it presents us with a welcome opportunity to highlight Barack Obama's pro-abortion
record--something which was largely concealed by the Obama campaign and the media during last year's campaign," Scheidler
said. "Obama's extreme pro-abortion agenda is out of step with the majority of Americans, and that news is finally
getting out, thanks to this controversy."
