      Good for the students and good for Williams. Randall Terry is a LOOONATIC who really should be in jail for attempted murder of HEALTH CLINIC workers. But of course, it's PRO LIFE. And of course, 4000+ dead soldiers in a war some manufactured is okay too. I'll listen to Randall Terry when he's pregnant.

      The vast majority of pro-life supporters are men. Does that seem odd? Men controlling women. That is, so last century. Ladies, you have rights! Male dominance has done a very bad job of civilization. Men are not defending your rights, it is ego that propels them. The Catholic Church, nor other religions, gained power though good works.

        "The vast majority of pro-life supporters are men."
        You have any stats to back that claim up? In Gallup's most recent poll, 49% of women and 54% of men considered themselves 'pro-life. Hardly a "vast majority."
        Misanthropy is so last century! Actually, it's just inane. So, men have done a bad job of civilization? Compared to what?

            No, on the issue of men vs women, ed is correct. It just looks like it's mostly men (white men at that) because republicans can't or won't run more women and minority candidates hence the one sided viewpoint.

            It's more accurate to say religion and whether it's left or right christianity is a determining factor in who supports abortion. I think Gallup does a terrible job here because they didn't get more distinct on right vs. left in religion. Here's the link to the pertinent data that would support ed's statement.

              my bad, I meant to say they do a good job. I was commenting to the bartender on a new beer she has on tap as I typed it, it really sucked!

          It's called "misandry" and I'm wondering why my last post saying it's "not ok" was not accepted.

      Dr. Williams sounds like my father-in law, husband, and son,all who received a Jesuit education. Service is the way to learn and teach.

      Kudos to the University of Notre Dame.

      Randall Terry is a lunatic who's looking for his 15 minutes of fame. Anything that's controversial, Terry is there.

      The usual political right-wing opportunists drum up a "controversy" without any reflection or proportion, faux news plays it up, corporate media echoes faux, gullible people buy into it.

      Meanwhile, in general, abortions go down as economy (and equality for women) go up.

      It's reported that approximately 50% of the faculty and 30% of students at Notre Dame are not Catholics. It is also reported that there are no precise statistics on the percentage of faculty and students who are pro-life or pro-choice.

      Using the logic of Dr. Alan Keyes and Randall Terry, Notre Dame would have to withhold degrees from any student who has met its academic standards but lacks the anti-abortion bona fides.

        They also need to withhold degrees from those who are pro-death penalty and pro-War in Iraq, since the Pope cam eout against those, too. (The previous Pope, not the current Hitler Youth Pope)
