| Democrat Lynn Woolsey |
The University of San Francisco, a Jesuit institution, has a number of speakers
lined up for their commencement ceremonies including Mayor of San Francisco Edwin Lee on May 18 and Congressman Lynn Woolsey on May 19.
Both are supporters of abortion rights and same-sex “marriage.” Woolsey, who has served as a congresswoman since 1993, will receive
an honorary degree from the university. She has been one of the most
radical pro-abortion rights voices in Congress. Woolsey co-sponsored a bill in favor of funding embryonic stem cell research, she voted against restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions, and even voted against banning partial-birth abortion. Woolsey even compared abortions to a tonsillectomy, and she issued a statement in 2008 saying she was “thrilled” that the courts overturned the ban on same-sex “marriage” in California. In a 2009 Politico article,
Woolsey said the U.S. bishops managed to “bully” legislators in the
Obamacare debate, and she urged the IRS to investigate the bishops. San Francisco Mayor Lee has used his office to attack
pro-life crisis pregnancy centers. Last November, he signed the
Pregnancy Information Disclosure and Protection Ordinance that could
force crisis pregnancy centers accused of “misleading” advertising to
declare publicly whether they provide abortions, abortion referrals and
“emergency contraception.” NARAL Pro-Choice state director Amy Everitt
cheered the law and praised Lee “for taking a stand as a pro-choice
leader.” Lee is also a public supporter of same-sex “marriage” who said the effort to legalize it was a “fight for civil rights in our country.” In February he cheered
the California Supreme Court ruling overturning the voter-approved
Proposition 8, declaring, “I celebrate the decision by the Ninth Circuit
Court today. This is a great day for marriage equality and a great day
for California families. …San Francisco stands ready to begin marrying
same-sex couples.”

Alright....there appear to be lot's of interesting speakers at Jesuit universities this spring. The Lord is obviously leading the faithful down the path of martyrdom; writing is on the wall. I don't see anyway around it.
