Notre Dame Pro-Life Protester Suffers Heart Attack

By Kathleen Gilbert

SOUTH BEND, Indiana, June 24, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Thanks to the strain of being subjected to criminal prosecution on charges of trespassing, one of the 88 peaceful pro-life protesters arrested at the University of Notre Dame in May of last year recently suffered a heart attack. According to Dr. Therese Beste's doctor, she continues to suffer from post-traumatic stress related to the prosecuation.

The doctor's diagnosis has been submitted to the pro-lifers' defense lawyer as members of the group, known as the "Notre Dame 88," continue to face prosecution and a possible penalty of up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine.

Beste, a Michigan resident, told LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) that she travelled to Indiana in May 2009 because she was "horrified" to learn that Notre Dame, "Our Blessed Mother's University," would be honoring "the most pro-abortion politician in our nation." The university had invited Obama to give the commencement address and receive an honorary law degree.
