Here's Catholic New York's feature
Fordham Students Object to Award for Supreme Court Justice
Breyer is scheduled to receive the Fordham—Stein Prize in Ethics, bestowed by Fordham Law School, at a dinner Oct. 29 at the university's Lincoln Center campus.
In an open letter and petition to Fordham's president, Father Joseph M. McShane, S.J., officers of the campus respect life club and its Republican club asked that the award not be granted because of Breyer's "repeated and influential work in favor of legalized abortion" in his public life.
The letter states that the jurist's work has placed him "in a position of complacency with grave moral evil, and leaves him in a position of irreconcilable conflict with the fundamental teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, and by extension, those of the university, in its role as one of this nation's leading Catholic universities."
"We are actively opposing this," said Sheldon D. Momaney, a junior who is president of the Respect for Life Club.
"We want the faith on campus, and we're not OK with having a Catholic university give this award," he told CNY. He added that the students' protests will be "respectful."
A spokesman for Fordham, asked by CNY for a comment, said the Jesuit—run university "is not going to be speaking on this issue."

Also cited in the petition was Cardinal Egan's Aug. 26 statement that anyone who "dares to defend" the killing of another human being in an abortion "should not be providing leadership in a civilized democracy worthy of the name," and the principles of Pope John Paul II's apostolic constitution on Catholic universities, "Ex Corde Ecclesiae," which states that Catholic universities must be faithful to the teachings of the Church.
