Notre Dame is filled with incredible students that are open minded thinkers and accomplished students. Vast majority are practicing Catholics but probably 5-10% non Catholic and many more non-practicing Catholics. There are stories of non-Christian football players volunteering to lead the team in the "Hail Mary". It's not about converting it's about respect for one another. That being said, if you think you're going
to go a Catholic college and be outspoken about late term abortions being perfectly fine then you either WANT the confrontation or you have not thought this through. Catholics are going to understand your opinion that unplanned pregnancy is a situation that a women wants to decide for herself. They do not demonize women who choose abortion as soon as they are aware they are pregnant. But they will offer options. Unfortunately it sounds as though you have joined the ranks of people trying convince everyone that it’s old white men telling you that you can’t. It’s your body but it’s illegal to put heroin in it. It’s your body but it’s illegal to prostitute it. So don’t profess that you have a right to do anything you want. Go to a right to life march, it isn’t old white men. It’s loving caring, mostly women, Christians who value the life of an unborn child. Getting pregnant and postponing your decision to abort until very late term is immoral. You have created a viable, living human being. No mother or doctor or liberal has the right to kill it.
Very sorry to go off on such a rant but you stated your support of Planned Parenthood (who refuse to stop late term abortions) and that you plan to be outspoken. I wish you the best, not sure if Notre Dame is the best match for you.
And remember you can be pro choice and object to late term abortions; 75% of the U.S. does.
