"the proportion of abortions obtained by women younger than 20 dropped steadily, falling from 33 percent in 1974 to 17 percent in 2004. For those younger than 18, it fell from 15 percent of all abortions in 1974 to 6 percent in 2004.

Did Obama only speak about abortion at the commencement speech? As far as Notre Dame inviting him to speak, do colleges only invite speakers that agree 100% with what they stand for? Having a pretty popular president speak at one's commencement seems like a coup for the university. I had some boring ass at mine and my wife had Blah-bin-o Blank-o at hers (worst speech ever).
