Anti-Choice group wants Obama banned from schools

Democratic superstar Barak Obama may have his invitation to speak at an Illinois Catholic school reneged because of a recent uproar by anti-choicers.
The American Life League says it is “outraged” that Obama is scheduled to speak at Benedictine University next month due to his “radical support of abortion.” Since when is believing in an established constitutional right radical?
American Life League is “urging the administration of Benedictine …to put an end to this scandal by forbidding Mr. Obama from speaking on the Catholic campus.”
Uh yeah, having a Senate candidate speak at a public affairs symposium sponsored by the school’s political science department is just so freaking scandalous… Oh my gosh, what would the neighbors say?!
Now this is just going too far. A university—religious or not—is there to teach students. What kind of political education will come from banning Obama from speaking? This just pisses me off; instead of promoting an informed debate at the school, this group just wants Obama to go away. Guess what though, folks? He’s on the ballot whether you like it or not.
And I like it.
