Yes."},"content":{"rendered":"

Under the Catholic Code of Canon Law, abortion brings automatic excommunication.<\/p>\n

But, not unlike a luxury mansion that turns out to be infested with rats, vermin and hidden mold, Notre Dame’s football schedule is riddled with institutions that perform abortions. One of them, apparently, is the University of Southern California.<\/p>\n

The author thought that, in the past, Southern Cal was a little more open and notorious when it came to admitting their willingness to perform abortions (as were, for example, upcoming opponents Miami of Florida and Stanford). The information is not necessarily as easy to find, yet, with a little patience, the information is still there. On the USC.edu website, Southern Cal’s Keck School of Medicine has a section for Southern Cal’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, keck.usc.edu\/obstetrics-and-gynecology\/<\/a> that, in turn, has a link entitled “Learn more about patient care” that jumps to: keck.usc.edu\/obstetrics-and-gynecology\/patient-care\/<\/a>. That webpage, in turn,\u00a0has a line that reads: “If you are a patient seeking information about our clinical services, please visit: women.keckmedicine.org<\/a>.” That last webpage, reading “Keck Medicine of USC – Women’s Health – About USC Women’s Health,” has a subsection further down headed “Conditions we treat” that includes, in its list, the items “Abortion” and “Birth Control.”<\/p>\n

(Since abortion and birth control are not conditions but a procedure or supposed “service”, one gathers that the list is actual presenting conditions, procedures and services. By comparison, another item listed is “Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery.”)<\/p>\n

(Now, for the record, under Catholic teaching, artificial birth control also is considered a mortal sin, under risk of eternal damnation; although at least some chemical contraceptives tend to potentially cause chemical abortions, as it, and abortion itself additionally brings automatic excommunication.)<\/p>\n

Southern Cal does not, at least on that webpage, elaborate about methods and procedures, or how far along in the development of a child in her mother’s womb they are willing to kill the preborn child.\u00a0 For example, they do not indicate if they would employ dismember procedures after the point when the preborn child in her mother’s womb can feel pain, a subject currently being debated in Congress.<\/p>\n

Southern Cal’s stated embracing of abortion is unspeakable and horrific.\u00a0 For Notre Dame to — apparently obliviously — go ahead and schedule them anyhow, as if to hope nobody will notice the implications, speaks to a lack of leadership; some\u00a0unholy blend of ignorance and lack of due diligence; lack of properly former moral character; and lack of properly formed conscience.\u00a0 The scheduling brings\u00a0embarrassment\u00a0upon the university, taints the university’s character and reputation and calls into question the appropriateness of its leadership and their conduct.<\/p>\n

By playing an abortion provider in football, Notre Dame is wrongly and improperly lending prestige and credibility to the opposing institution, as well as enhancing the opponent’s immediate and ongoing revenue.<\/p>\n

Even worse, Notre Dame contributes to the air of moral complacency and obliviousness that helps make the widespread abortion epidemic possible.\u00a0 By scheduling an abortion perpetrator, Notre Dame lends an air of “business as usual” that brushes the biggest evil facing the nation “under the rug.”<\/p>\n

If Southern Cal ran overseas plantations where Southern Cal owned slaves, would Notre Dame schedule them? Yet abortion is even far more deadly, and more evil.<\/p>\n

By lending wealth and prestige to an abortion provider, Notre Dame is lending wealth and prestige to parties whom Catholic Church Law excommunicates, so that, Notre Dame, as an institution, is, once again, thumbing its nose at the Catholic Faith and demonstrating a lack of fidelity to Christ.<\/p>\n

Doing so under the name “Notre Dame,” which is French for “Our Lady,” in reference to Mary, the Mother of God, and doing so while claiming to be nominally Catholic Christian, the institution is insulting the Name of Mary and, in turn, the Holy Name of Her Son and His Mystical Body the Church.<\/p>\n

Abortion, the cold-blooded murder of unborn children, is a grotesque human rights violation.\u00a0 By scheduling a human rights violator, Notre Dame is lending wealth and prestige to human rights violators.<\/p>\n

Notre Dame claims to have a motto of God, Country and Notre Dame, but abortion has killed more Americans than all wars combined.\u00a0 It is the biggest threat to American lives that is, almost the equivalent, on average, of having 9\/11 occur every day.\u00a0 Whatever the numbers might be for Southern Cal, that institution’s willingness to advertise involvement with abortion makes\u00a0Southern Cal a\u00a0part of it.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Notre Dame’s\u00a0apparent blas\u00e9, “business as usual” attitude about the scheduling adds to the complacency and quietism surrounding the\u00a0evil of abortion\u00a0that has allowed it to take root and proliferate to begin with.\u00a0 Playing a game against an abortion provider as if it’s something fun and every day makes Notre Dame part of a de facto “grooming” process to undermine the national conscience.<\/p>\n

Then there is the racial factor.<\/p>\n

Football has\u00a0a disproportionately large number of African American athletes, a factor that, a few decades ago,\u00a0presumably helped convince the NFL to take a particular state to task over whether the state would have a holiday focusing on civil rights.\u00a0 Race also is a factor in the current protests relating to the national anthem at sporting events. So concern over fair treatment of diverse ethnic groups has been an ethical priority for football.<\/p>\n

Abortion has been termed an anti-Black genocide by some, due to the disproportionate racist impact of abortion, killing African American children in the womb at a rate far higher than white children, as compared with the demographics\u00a0of the broader population.\u00a0 The biggest abortion provider in the United States was founded by someone who once declared the purpose of the organization to be to limit the number of “Negro” babies, who, on at least one occasion, spoke to a KKK organization.<\/p>\n

Similarly, football has tried to concern itself with the proper treatment of women, and the need to show proper regard for women.\u00a0 Not only does abortion strike at the heart of one important part of womanhood by striking at the heart of motherhood; abortion has been termed a kind of “Gendercide” because of its to deliberately kill unborn children because they are girls, especially in cultures placing a higher value on boys than girls.<\/p>\n

Regardless of Southern Cal’s specific numbers, they have chosen to associate themselves, as an institution, with abortion, and hold themselves out as performing abortions.<\/p>\n

It is for Southern Cal’s own good, and for the sake of Notre Dame’s own reputation and moral character, that Notre Dame should drop Southern Cal from athletic schedules, unless and an until Southern Cal disavows prenatal child-killing, including under the propagandistic rubric of so-called “abortion.”<\/p>\n
