Rice of Notre Dame Notre Dame IPA: [nɔtʁ dam] is French for Our Lady, referring to the Virgin Mary. In the United States of America, Notre Dame University, a long-time commentator on pro-life issues, suggests that a sudden reversal of the 1973 Roe v. Wade Roe v. Wade, case decided in 1973 by the U.S. Supreme Court. Along with Doe v. Bolton, this decision legalized abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy. case would have little effect in a society so steeped in the culture of death. He traces modern society's decline to its "cultural acceptance of contraception." "If man makes himself arbiter through contraception of whether life shall begin, he will predictably make himself arbiter of when it shall end." Hence society's embrace of abortion and soon, of euthanasia euthanasia (y  'thənā`zhə), either painlessly putting to death or failing to prevent death from natural causes in cases of terminal illness or irreversible coma. . Rice notes the chilling statistic that 47 million unborn children had been "legally executed" in the U.S.A. since Roe was proclaimed (Wanderer, Jan. 26, 2006). |
