The Right Choice: Catholic University Bookstore Cancels Speaking Appearance by Pro-Abort Politician

All is not lost among the nation's youth -- especially among Catholics.

Sean McConeghy, a 21-year-old senior from Staten Island, N.Y., said he was startled to learn last week that [Eleanor Holmes]Norton was scheduled to visit campus. After complaining unsuccessfully to the president's office, he asked members of the College Republicans and Students for Life to join him in complaining to the bookstore.

"This is nothing specifically against Ms. Norton. It's against the viewpoint," he said. "We felt that giving someone with those viewpoints a forum on this campus would not be in keeping with the principles for which we stand."
