And what are they hoping to accomplish with this? 
I think it’s very rude and uncharitable of them to openly mock the efforts of the pro-life students at Notre Dame.
I really feel for the undergraduate students here that are opposed to Obama. Not only are they labeled as “fanatics” by their peers even though they refuse shock tactics like this, they are condemned by outside groups such as these for not being fervent enough. I keep praying for them and ask everyone else to do the same.

i guess they are hoping to accomplish some good. maybe by showing people the horrible violence that is abortion they may change some minds. babies are ripped apart in ways that would land you in jail if you did it to a dog.
while there may be better ways to go about changing peoples minds, at least they are trying, thats something i wont fault them for.

CBR just won a Supreme Court ruling on this very tactic. They parked large trucks with pictures of aborted babies on the sides, in front of a public school. The authorities tried to get them banned but lost. And why did they try to get them banned? Because they are effective.
We are a visual society; some people are not capable of even a modicum of abstract thought like, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” so they need a visual representation. That is why, “America will not end abortion until America sees abortion.”
Besides, if abortion is something morally neutral and only a choice, why would anyone object to the pictures any more than they would to an ad for Coke or Pepsi? Only those would object who know it is wrong but are trying to convince themselves otherwise.
P.S. And I don’t think it’s “openly mocking the efforts of the pro-life students at Notre Dame.” If I were one of them, I’d be cheering.

I was referring to this part of the press release:
So basically they are saying, “Your protests are wimpy and you are to be blamed for this situation.”
The students are doing what they can to change the hard hearts of their peers…why accuse them of capitulating to pro-abortion forces because this group doesn’t think their protests are aggressive enough? Again, very uncharitable since I’m sure this organization cannot see into the hearts and minds of pro-life Notre Dame students. Just because they have chosen not to use graphic pictures does not mean that they deny the evil of abortion. What a slanderous thing to say.

Fr. Frank Pavone, Priests for Life, has said;
"America will not reject abortion until it sees abortion" priestsforlife.org/images/index.aspx#galleries.
We cannot be shy or timid, we are not the ones murdering innocent babies!
We cannot let the “pro-choice” (the “CHOICE” IS MURDER!) crowd redefine the truth with PC terms like “choice, reproductive privacy rights, women’s reproductive health care…”
Read what the abortionists have said in court under oath describing these gruesome procedures which include pulling off limbs with forceps and sucking a living baby from a mother’s womb!
We are so “shocked and outraged?” by pictures of the reality of abortion, a gruesome death caused by the abortionist, but we will watch movies and television with equally disgusting violence for “entertainment?”
Some say, “movies and TV are not reality” and they are 100% correct! If we will not look at the reality of the massive holocaust being carried out on our watch and don’t try to stop it, then we are as guilty as those who execute these innocent babies for profit!!!

Lord knows I hope people’s minds are changed…but from what I have seen the Obama supporters here are very hard-hearted. They would be more likely to blame “extremists” for “ruining their graduation” than to actually think about what they are seeing. It is sad how self-centered they are. I think it’s highly unlikely that they will actually be shocked out of their complacency.
My point is, this group can do whatever they want, more power to them if it actually works…but why add the slanderous remarks towards Notre Dame students? What was the point of that?

Since your post didn’t make reference to the press release, that wasn’t exactly clear. However, that’s a minor issue compared to your main question.

The reporter thought it was “paradoxical”. I’m not sure it was that, but if true, there certainly would be some irony in it.

Obviously, the students are not doing all they can to change hearts. Look who’s coming to speak and receive an award! Scandalous indeed!I was referring to this part of the press release:
So basically they are saying, “Your protests are wimpy and you are to be blamed for this situation.”
Nope, their efforts are not aggressive enough so let others use a different tactic. The rest of us can only be spectators on the sideline and the best we can do is cheer them for their efforts, not complain.
We’ve been fighting too long with these pro-abortion people and the situation is not getting better.
No more Mr. Nice Guy!

Yes, of course, let’s blame Obama’s appearance on the pro-life students who did NOT want him on campus, had nothing to do with the decision to invite him, and to whom Father Jenkins refuses to speak. That makes perfect sense.Obviously, the students are not doing all they can to change hearts. Look who’s coming to speak and receive an award! Scandalous indeed!

If you’re looking to assign blame, make sure you put it in the right place…squarely on the shoulders of Father Jenkins, the board, and whoever else made this boneheaded decision. Claiming that Notre Dame pro-life groups are diminishing the evil of abortion is not only untrue, it’s quite counterproductive. We are all working towards the same goal here…why the need to demean groups who choose not to use aggressive tactics?

Not necessarily blaming pro-life students, BUT, I don’t think they did all they can. C’mon, no abortion pics! What are they…wimps?Yes, of course, let’s blame Obama’s appearance on the pro-life students who did NOT want him on campus, had nothing to do with the decision to invite him, and to whom Father Jenkins refuses to speak. That makes perfect sense.
Those hard hearted pro-abortion people need a stronger dose of reality check, and if it takes abortion pics to do it, so be it.
If that doesn’t wake them up, can’t say pro-lifers didn’t do their best.
Same goal, maybe not the most efficient tactic.
If Fr. Jenkins sees abortion pics, like imprint it on his bone head , who knows if ND would be in such a scandal today.

Great idea!
Obama is the “show me” President. He likes to show the world all our confidential war tactics. He believes in pictures and videos of what he believes is torture. Let him see what “real” torture is. Waterboarding is nothing compared with skulls of innocent infants being demolished as they await the miracle of birth.

I just checked the net to see if there were any updates on this story. belief.net and another site called Politics had a similar article. I then read some of the resonses on their sites. Ninety percent of the responses were negative toward the showing of the pictures. They must not have gotten the memo from Obama that he is the “Show me” president and wants the truth of torture exposed.

Must be the right thing to do if that many oppose it.

I feel most sorry for the students who are graduating. Their special day is being turned into a political circus by both sides of the arguement.
How would (general) you feel if on your graduation day there were banners and trucks of aborted babies being displayed? How would (general) you feel if on your special day the only thing people could talk about was how someone shouldn’t be giving a speach? I think many are forgetting that this is a graduation of students not an open forum to protest.

I did not see anything in the local news about it tonight, maybe there will be something tomorrow, or I missed it.
I do feel sorry for the seniors, especially those who are devout. One of the biggest days in their young lives will be marred by this whole mess.

Having been openly pro-life in college, to the point of having once spent an entire class session debating the immorality of birth control with an instructor in front of hundreds of students, I would have attended the pro-life demonstration on my graduation day while wearing my cap and gown.
