As it completed its term of service in May, the [Task Force on Supporting the Choice for Life at the University of Notre Dame] recommended to Father Jenkins that structures be created to implement previous recommendations and continue the group’s work. In response, Father Jenkins has established the position of coordinator for university life initiatives and appointed Mary K. Daly to the post.
newsinfo.nd.edu/news/16835-notre-dame-creates-position-to-coordinate-life-initiatives/Daly, a 2010 Notre Dame graduate who served as president of Notre Dame Right to Life as an undergraduate, will coordinate efforts already under way to implement the recommendations of the task force, serve as a liaison between various University units in order to facilitate collaboration on life issues, and seek ways to broaden and deepen respect for the sanctity of life from conception to natural death within the Notre Dame community and beyond.
I, too, was wondering how much influence a new grad, in a newly created job position, would have. I doubt she will have much clout, in the beginning. And there is a danger of becoming a figurehead. However, its possible that she can grow the position, if she is savvy.I am sure she is a lovely person but I can’t help but wonder how much value ND is putting on this new department if it is hiring a newly minted grad to head it rather than an experienced advocate.
It is a choice right now. Abortion is legal. It’s up to us to make it NOT a choice. I don’t see a problem with the wording. Can’t argue that it is sadly legal. The good intentions are definitely there. I pray Mary Daly grows this position into something wonderful.The “choice” for life, eh?
That’s sure to not offend Barack Obama.
It will remain legal as long as people who can be made pregnant have a legal voice. When we silence those voices, we can make it illegal again.It is a choice right now. Abortion is legal.
