Dropping abortion-school Pitt likely means dropping ‘Notre Dame’s’ partnership with the ACC, a conference riddled by abortion schools.<\/p>\n

The Catholic Church regards abortion as such a serious matter that procurement of abortion brings about automatic excommunication.\u00a0 Yet at least one-fourth of ‘Notre Dame’s’ regular season football schedule includes abortion schools — Miami (Fla.), Pitt and Stanford from the ACC and Southern Cal from the B1G\/”Big Ten.”<\/p>\n

While it is true that the Irish scheduled Pitt in the past, their agreement to play a certain number of ACC schools each year would complicate efforts to drop ACC abortion schools like Pitt, Miami (Fla.) and Stanford, as well as others.<\/p>\n

Pitt is open and notorious about performing abortions and training abortionists<\/a>. At a minimum, the University of Pittsburgh’s Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences Ryan Residency Program declares<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The curriculum aims to cover a full spectrum of [so-called] reproductive health care including complex contraception … and abortion<\/strong> …. Residents work with specialists in multiple settings including the Magee Outpatient Clinic, the Center for Contraception and Family Planning at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, the operating room, and a freestanding abortion facility (Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania). …”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(emphasis added)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Ultrasound<\/a>“Notre Dame” is French for “Our Lady,” meaning the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the would-be “University of Notre Dame” continues to proclaim itself a Catholic institution as a basis for its character and credibility.\u00a0 Even football marketing, on their twitter profile, tries to invoke the phrase “God, Country, Notre Dame.”<\/p>\n

By playing abortion schools, ‘Notre Dame’ is\u00a0enhancing the abortion schools’ revenue and prestige. <\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps even worse, they are contributing to the “business as usual” complacency that has made widespread prenatal filicide in America more possible, legitimizing the abortion institutions as simply being “part of the deal.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Even worse, superficial courtesy usually in results in positive public statements being made about the abortion school or the history and would-be “tradition” of playing them.<\/p>\n

Doing all of the above while being named after the Blessed Virgin Mary sadly would imply that the Blessed Virgin Mary and her Divine Son are associated with such doings. That means a risk of being charged with being disrespectful, insulting, and blasphemous to suggest such a thing.<\/p>\n

These sad realities compound other problems already raised by a university holding itself as being named after the Blessed Virgin Mary, such as honoring, and even hiring pro-abortion, politicians, in one case a pro-abortion politician who also was a militant homosexual holding himself out as married to a male schoolteacher from Mishawaka.<\/p>\n

Also concerning is the racial factor.<\/p>\n

Whatever the demographics of abortion at Pitt,\u00a0 nationwide abortion has impacted Black Americans at a per capita rate several times that of whites.<\/p>\n

It seems particularly cynical to, on the one hand, take advantage of the talent, hard work and self-sacrifice of so many Black athletes in football, while, on the other hand, boosting the legitimacy and prestige of institutions carrying out abortions, when nationwide abortion has been called an anti-Black genocide.<\/p>\n

It is long overdue for ‘Notre Dame’ to boot Southern Cal, Miami (Fla.), Stanford, Pitt, and any other abortion-connected schools off the schedule, and to leave conferences that include abortion schools like the ACC and so-caled B1G\/Big Ten, which ‘Notre Dame’ belongs to in hockey.<\/p>\n

Yet perhaps an initial question might be, how many people even knew about it.<\/p>\n

Perhaps part of the modus operandi of this particular evil seems to be to seep “into the woodwork,” get interwoven with institutions with other, completely unrelated, elements that built goodwill, then sit back and try to deflect scrutiny about the evil, while trying to poach the institutional goodwill.<\/p>\n
