Apparently, there are protesters pushing baby carriages with bloody baby dolls and I&#8217;m sure Operation Rescue has set up banners of aborted fetuses.  (Then again, Operation Rescue also picketed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbana.org\">Urbana<\/a> in 2000 so their logic and judgment is a little questionable.)<\/p>\n<p>My word on all this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>CHILL OUT ALREADY!!!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Everyone is acting like his commencement speech is going to promote killing babies and eating them or something.  Pro-choice does not mean that you support abortion in every circumstance nor that you *LIKE* that abortion exists.  For many people, it means that you do not believe that you have the right to make a decision like that for someone else.  And yes, I realize that my stated stance of &#8220;pro-life\/pro-legal&#8221; is essentially equivalent to being &#8220;pro-choice&#8221; in the eyes of most people.  Deal with it.<\/p>\n<p>To all the protesters out there: why don&#8217;t you put your money and your time where your mouth is and help to fund Crisis Pregnancy Centers so that women who are in a really tough circumstance can *get* the care they need and have some education about their options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s been a fair amount of flipping out about Obama doing the commencement address at Notre Dame because Obama is pro-choice and Notre Dame is a Catholic school.
