Religion & Law

I have a question to ask about the Notre Dame award to Mary Ann Glendon. I recall her excellent book Abortion and Divorce in Western Law as taking a relatively moderate approach to abortion. It opposed the U.S. approach, and, as I recall, endorsed the approach taken in many European countries. That approach, as I recall, raises moral questions about abortion generally and legally regulates abortions beginning in the second trimester, but does not outlaw abortions in the first trimester. She called for compromise on the issue, a position quite different from the Vatican. Is my recollection incorrect? Has she changed her position? If not, I would have thought that some (not me) would be questioning an award to her by a Catholic university.
