President Barack Obama's planned visit to the University of Notre Dame later this spring has triggered a national debate over whether such a prominent supporter of abortion rights should be welcomed at one of America's premier Catholic universities.
Obama's decision to speak at the school's May 17 commencement is generating strong feelings on all sides, with supporters saying he should be welcomed as the nation's leader and opponents saying he should be shunned because of his views.
As the leaders of campus groups upset about his selection prepared to meet this evening to map out opposition plans, abortion protesters from across the country said they were making plans to travel here for the commencement.
