Dear Students, Faculty, Staff, and C-U Community Members:



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.



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.  Full details below:
