McCorvey, 61, threw her support Friday behind those protesting President Barack Obama’s invitation to speak here today.
A crowd of protesters is descending on South Bend for Obama’s commencement visit.
By 9 a.m., the now-familiar sight of anti-abortion and anti-Obama protesters with graphic signs was visible at Notre Dame’s main gate.
Paul Lash, 41, said he drove to South Bend with about 10 others from two Catholic churches in Dayton, Ohio. He was standing next to a graphic abortion sign. Because of Obama’s support of abortion rights, Lash said he disagrees with Notre Dame’s decision to invite and honor the president. Lash said he used to support Notre Dame but will no longer.
