Students, Faculty, Staff, and C-U Community Members:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Sylfaen;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Sylfaen;">In less
than one week, the University of Illinois Women’s Resources Center
and the campus YWCA—along with a variety of campus RSOs (listed below)—will
host a dialogue on the topic of abortion that we encourage all to attend. It is
our hope that this dialogue will encourage discussion on the issue of abortion
and women’s rights. We are eager to present to you a panel of speakers from all
sides of the abortion debate who have worked, written, and contributed to the
issue of abortion in a diversity of ways. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Sylfaen;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Sylfaen;">Together,
it is out hope that the C-U community will look to this program as a unique
opportunity to dig into the complexities of reproduction, to question the
narratives presented to us, and to challenge one another to seek understanding.
Whatever your stance on the issue of abortion, we encourage you not miss this chance
to discuss one of the most contested issues within women’s
rights. <span> </span>Full details below:</span></p>
