Pro-choice deserves a voice at Saint Mary’s

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, September 22, 2020

At the start of the month, a few students at Saint Mary’s started a “Belles for Choice” club. I was eager to join, and thankful that the pro-choice community at SMC could finally be represented. I have attended Catholic school my entire life, and I never felt that I had a place to discuss pro-life

Tackling abortion

Vince Mallett | Thursday, April 2, 2020

I have to be upfront about one thing: I don’t have anything to contribute to the coronavirus conversation. My colleagues and others have done a wonderful job covering the virus, its effects on the tri-campus community and the challenges (and joys!) of living at home amidst the pandemic.  Instead, I’ve decided to make my column this week

Response to ‘The twilight zone’

Bridget Kelley | Thursday, January 30, 2020

I was deeply troubled upon reading Brennan Buhr’s Monday column, “The twilight zone.” I would like to address Buhr on several points he brings up in his column. First, it is true that reproductive rights and safe access to abortion are one of the principles guiding the Women’s March movement. However, the Women’s March did

Stop talking over us

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, October 10, 2019

I started occasionally reading The Observer after a friend joined its staff as a Viewpoint columnist this fall. While I always make sure to show my support by reading his pieces, I also tend to click through the other articles as well. As a prospective LGBT student, it’s a bit alarming to see the voices

Panel discusses pro-life feminist perspective

Claire King | Thursday, April 11, 2019

It is not uncommon to hear in contemporary discourse that it is impossible to be feminist and pro-life; that in order to be a real feminist, you must support abortion rights. The McGrath Institute for Church Life and Notre Dame’s Office of Campus Ministry co-sponsored a panel discussion titled “Pro-Life Feminism” to discuss whether pro-life

Earn the title ‘pro-life’

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, April 10, 2019

Let me start by saying that I would never personally have an abortion, but that is mostly due to my lack of a uterus. There is little pro-life in being anti-abortion. We must ask ourselves if it is enough to see a child born and not a child loved; a child born and not a
