Monday:

Jill
Stanek, pro-life activist and speaker, 8:00 pm, Tognino Hall (Duane
Library, 2nd Floor). Ms. Stanek was a nurse in the Labor and Delivery
Department at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, IL. Not only were abortions
being performed there, but babies who survived abortions were left to
die without medical care. When hospital administrators would not stop
the atrocities, she went public and became a leading national advocate
for the protection of both born and pre-born infants. Please visit her
website at http://www.jillstanek.com.

Wednesday:

Silent
No More Awareness Campaign, 7:00 pm in Keating 109. "Silent No More
Awareness is a Campaign whereby Christians make the public aware of the
devastation abortion brings to women and men. The campaign seeks to
expose and heal the secrecy and silence surrounding the emotional and
physical pain of abortion." Please visit their website at

Thursday:

Life, 7:00 pm, Keating 3rd Floor Auditorium. Serrin Foster, President
