Notre Dame Obama Supporter Offers No Hope and No Change in Abortion Policy

Yesterday, on "The Factor", commentator Bill O'Reilly hosted the above discussion between Notre Dame students Michael Lucien and Aldrich Anderson.

Nacilbupera takes argument with the "facts" as presented by Mr. Lucien: "...I disagree that Obama is THE most pro-choice President by nature of a speech he gave on April 29th he mentioned that he is no longer pursuing the Freedom of Choice Act..." (transcript ours).

The "speech" Lucien refers to is actually a response to CNN reporter Ed Henry questioning him on his position on the abortion topic being "above my pay grade." Note that Henry, not Obama brought up the issue.

Obama replied in his response to Henry's question: "the freedom of choice act [FOCA] is not my highest legislative priority". Re-prioritizing FOCA away from "first thing I'd do as president" is a whole lot different than no longer "pursuing" it. If Obama were no longer "pursuing" FOCA, he would have stated: "FOCA is no longer on my legislative agenda."
BIG DIFFERENCE!!!

Lucien furthermore neglected to point out what Obama is "pursuing" as of late (May 7th) when it comes to abortion: repeal of the Dornan Amendment in his 2010 Budget. Such a repeal would effectively mean US taxpayers would be funding abortions in the District of Columbia.

Although Mr. Lucien is entitled to his opinion (proffered without a substitute president as the most pro-choice), Lucien should clarify his statement about Obama not "pursuing" FOCA.

Nacilbupera still claims Obama as the most anti-life President ever.

Remembering Jack Kemp

Nacilbupera was saddened to hear of Saturday's passing of Jack Kemp. Nacilbupera proudly voted for the Dole-Kemp ticket of 1996 and remembers Kemp fondly for his tax-cutting agenda and his unabashed pro-life stance. How much better off would we be with Kemp in the Oval Office than an Obama or Biden!

To celebrate his passage to a better life, Nacilbupera is encouraging the signing of petition at NotreDameScandal.com. Permit us some background. Like Kemp, the Catholic church has been a staunch supporter of the unborn's right to life and Obama has been among the most anti-life politicians ever. Indeed Nacilbupera condemns Obama's rescinding of the Mexico City Policy which prohibits our tax dollars from funding abortions outside the US. This rescission was one of the first acts Obama performed as president; indeed Obama has a huge resume of being anti-life (considered by many to be the most anti-life president ever), the topic of another blog another day.


Many Catholics are outraged at the invitation of Obama to speak at their Commencement ceremonies, scheduled May 17th. Many are planning a boycott unless Obama is replaced. The petition above asks Notre Dame President John Jenkins to rescind the invitation. Nacilbupera has joined arms with our Catholic brothers and sisters in signing this petition and urges like-minded lifers to do the same.


Nacilbupera feels that looking down from heaven both Jack Kemp and Our Lady whose name this great university bears would be proud of our efforts.
