Pro Life Notre Damer's v. President Obama

As you may know, many pro life Notre Dame Students will protest President Obama's commencement speech at their graduation. They are protesting the President's strong pro-choice, and pro-stem cell views.

Some students are planning to make a big stir to protest the graduation commencement speaker, while others are planning peaceful protests. The students who plan to give the police a run for their money, they must remember that the news media, regardless of their reason of protest, will mark them as just crazy, violent protesters. The students who protest peacefully will have a better chance of getting their message across. Especially when a recent Gallup poll shows more Americans are pro-life, rather than pro-choice. The same thing happened with the civil rights movement. Malcolm X wanted to lead violent protests, while Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wanted to protest peacefully. Who was projected better in the world? Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Bottom line: Protesting is a great communication tool, but the whole point of protesting is to get a message across. And the whole point is lost, when violence is used.
