As if to rub salt in the wound opened by Notre Dame's invitation to deliver the commencement address and receive an honorary degree, Barack Obama lectured Catholics about abortion. He said it's time for common ground on the issue and an approach to the life-and-death debate with "open hearts, open minds and fairminded words."

I suppose that's understandable. If I were presiding over a public policy that called for the murder of unborn babies for any reason or no reason at all, that provided mandatory public funding of those procedures both domestically and in foreign countries, that required doctors and nurses to perform abortions even if they were conscientiously opposed, that permitted experimentations on living human embryos, that promoted even partial-birth abortions outside the womb and that called for the extermination of infants who somehow defied all the odds and managed to survive efforts to kill them before birth, I would want to frame the debate in such a way as to diminish the hideous monstrousness of my morally indefensible position. He doesn't really want people who recognize what abortion is to approach the debate with "open hearts." He wants us to harden our hearts.

We won't do that. The only hearts and minds being opened in this debate are the hearts and minds of little innocents – sliced open surgically in the most barbaric fashion because of activist judges exceeding their authority and morally bankrupt politicians like Obama and his cohorts in the Congress.

These are the most "fair-minded words" I can muster to describe Obama's efforts at soft-pedalling his own bloody and extremist policies on abortion.

Obama said: "Each side will continue to make its case to the public with passion and conviction. But surely we can do so without reducing those with differing views to caricature." Let me translate this for you.

"Now that my side in this debate is in control of all the levers of power and is enforcing its will on the other side, it's time for a nice civil dialogue on abortion." Between the Lines: The blowback of Notre Dame Joseph Farah on Obama lecturing Catholics on “common ground” about abortion That's what Obama would like.

Let me be the first to say, "No way, buster! You want to kill babies? You're going to have to accept the consequences of righteous moral indignation. You're going to have to accept being called out for what you are doing. You're going to have to accept the conviction that comes with the abomination of child sacrifice. You're going to have to accept being labeled for what you are. Obama even acknowledged he knows what this debate is all about – characterizing abortion as a "heart-wrenching" decision for a woman.

Why is abortion a "heart-wrenching" decision for a mother? Because it's a decision to kill one's child – for materialistic reasons, for reasons of convenience. It should be "heart-wrenching" to decide to kill one's child. Obama's policies are meant to remove the guilt, remove the consequences of irresponsible decisions, remove the issue of right and wrong, remove even the "choice" of those who disagree with him not to participate in any way in the slaughter at the altar of Baal.

"We must find a way to live together as one human family," he said in closing. That's quite a statement. The man who is carrying out the slaughter of the innocents with the same enthusiasm as Herod and Pharaoh calls for us to find a way to live together as one human family. How do we learn to live together as one human family when our offspring are being sacrificed to false gods and man-made religions? How do we learn to live together as one human family when it means accepting coercion into active participation in the worst kind of evil perversion? How does one live with oneself if it means tolerance of the intolerable? No, I won't play that game. No, I won't play by Obama's rules.

While the millstone of Notre Dame is placed around President Obortion's neck and students at Notre Dame stand giving an ovation, all heaven stood
to honor an 80-year-old priest Fr. Weslin as he received heaven's high honor for peacefully taking a stand for life and the plight of the unborn... That
little jail tag around the neck of this bound man of God is a high honor in the kingdom of God. If you are wondering about my phrase - "the millstone
of Notre Dame" - I'd remind you that Jesus spoke of placing something around the neck of those who keep children from LIFE.
