There is no common ground on abortion..you either think it's okay to kill babies or you don't. And Obama has done nothing to reduce abortions. He has only advanced the culture of death.
President Obama used the controversy surrounding his Notre Dame address Sunday as a class lesson on the need to bridge cultural divides in America, as he urged graduates to seek common ground with their peers on hot-button issues.
The 44th president, speaking at commencement ceremonies, directly addressed the split his visit had caused on campus and in the Catholic community. As he spoke, hundreds held a prayer vigil across campus in opposition to Obama's positions on abortion and embryonic stem cell research, capping off a weekend of protests on and around the university grounds.
Protesters in the crowd sporadically interrupted Obama's commencement address before they were shouted down by the rest of the graduates.
But Obama called for "open hearts, open minds, fair-minded words" in the midst of such lasting debates.
He said the issue of abortion stands as the single greatest example of a controversy that tests Americans' ability to respectfully seek common ground.
He said the views of the two sides of the debate are "irreconcilable"(I actally agree with that) but can be respected.
