'Notre Dame' Football and 'High-Volume Abortion Training:' Historically Catholic 'Notre Dame' Raises Eyebrows Playing Yet Another Abortion School, This Time Southern Cal, Who Boasts About High-Volume Abortion Training, Partnership With Los Angeles So-Called Planned Parenthood
However shocking it may seem, "Notre Dame's" football opponents have routinely included institutions performing abortions, training abortionists or otherwise claiming a direct connection with abortion.
The Catholic Church regards abortion, prenatal filicide, as such a serious matter that, under Catholic Canon Law, abortion brings automatic excommunication, just like other forms of homicide.
"Notre Dame" is historically Catholic. Named after the Blessed Virgin Mary, what is now a big-money nonprofit corporation sits on land owned by a religious order, and still boasts a Basilica, and a host of Chapels, offering a robust Mass schedule. They still operate a seminary and, as do some secular colleges, they offer theology courses and degrees to the general student population.
Not surprisingly, "Notre Dame" still seeks to benefit from religious angles with their public relations, with the football program even referencing "God, Country, Notre Dame" on its marketing.
As a practical matter, scheduling abortion schools like Southern Cal does not just enhance the revenues and prestige of the abortion school.
It helps legitimize and normalize the abortion perpetrator. Even worse, it contributes to the "business-as-usual" complacency. That complacency has helped transform an unthinkable horror into something morbidly casual, killing scores of millions and becoming a self-satisfied, mind-warping staple of big-money left-wing politicsm propping up a big-money industry.
"Notre Dame" thereby shares some of the blame for each killing that occurs. That is especially when a false "normalization" of the unthinkable impacts the sensibilities of vulnerable women in crisis pregnancies, perhaps already being targeted by pressures from third parties.
The University of Southern California openly admits that they train abortionists. At a minimum, for starters, their webpage for their "Complex Family Planning Fellowship Program" declares:
"The Fellowship in Complex Family Planning is a two-year fellowship focused on subspecialist training in research, teaching and clinical practice in abortion and contraception. ..."
As can be seen from their webpage, the details of the program are somewhat voluminous, including "clinical" training, contributions to would-be research, and training in the "political landscape."
The program professes to include "clinical training at the Los Angeles General Medical Center, where fellows learn to provide all family planning procedures up to the state’s legal limitations." It also speaks of "[h]igh-volume abortion training" at so-called Planned Parenthood locations.
A "Reproductive Options Clinic"is said to provide "comprehensive counseling for pregnancy disposition, with provision of surgical or medical termination as indicated."
Like a luxury mansion that turns out to be infested by vermine, toxic molds and rodentia, "Notre Dame's" football schedule sounds PR-glitzy yet usually turns out to be tainted by multiple abortion-connected opponents.
The leading human rights violation of the day, abortion is likely the most widespread violence against human life on the planet.
With over 63 million surgical abortions in the United States since 1973, the number of Americans murdered in the womb even approaches the numbers needed to win the Presidency.
Then there is the racial factor. Abortion is far more wide-spread than slavery ever was in the South before the Civil War, and abortion is impacting Blacks at a rate several times higher than Whites per capita.
"Notre Dame" Football especially should be more racially sensitive about the abortion issue, given the large numbers of Blacks on football rosters, much higher than the Black portion of the population, and even higher still than the much lower percentage of Blacks in the "Notre Dame" student body.
Then there is the abortion connection for Notre Dame Football itself. A "Notre Dame" Heisman winner from the 1950's made a disclosure in his memoirs that was taken as an admission that, after getting a young woman pregant out of wedlock, he was complicit in her obtaining what would have been an illegal abortion.
In addition to any legal problems, that player likely would have been expelled from "Notre Dame" before winning the Heisman, and, given the disreputable nature of the matter, probably would have had difficulty winning such accolades anywhere else.
Yet instead of disavowing the player, suggesting he give back his Heisman, and giving up whatever Heisman Trophy, or replica, "Notre Dame" itself possesses, "Notre Dame" invited the problem individual to speak at a pep rally (at which a bizarre spectacle unfolded in which his pants fell down at the podium, prompting excuse-making about losing weight).
It is long overdue for "Notre Dame" to boot Southern Cal, Stanford and other abortion-connected schools off the schedule, and to leave conferences like the ACC and so-called Big Ten that include abortion schools.
