Professor sues Notre Dame newspaper for defamation in reporting on her abortion advocacy
Fox News
Tamara Kay, a pro-abortion professor at Notre Dame, sued two journalists at the university's independent, conservative student newspaper for reporting on her abortion activism.
In October, DeReuil, who was editor-in-chief at the time, reported on Kay's appearance on a panel at the university titled "Post-Roe America: Making Intersectional Feminist Sense of Abortion Bans," where she discussed Indiana’s pro-life law, S.B. 1, which is currently blocked in court, arguing it would be harmful to "marginalized groups." Kendall Tietz is a Production Assistant with Fox News Digital.
During her panel experience, Kay said abortion bans "disproportionately affect people in minority groups: black, indigenous, Latinx, LGBTQIA, those with few resources, those who are incarcerated, those in the military, those who are on campus, those who are immigrants, those who have disabilities and physical and mental health challenges, including substance use disorder."
The Irish Rover reported that Kay told the paper after the panel that her views did not completely align with those of the Catholic faith.
