Although abortion is one of the most pressing issues in our society, we find the lack of information at our university distressing.

Human Life Awareness Week, from March 18-22, gives you the perfect opportunity to attend four informative sessions related to life issues. Doug Scott will kick-off the week with an expose on Planned Parenthood. Scott, the author of "Inside Planned Parenthood," leads the national pro-life boycott against corporate supporters of Planned Parenthood.

On Tuesday, discover which of your favorite athletes support life in the film, "Champions For Life." We will also be showing the film "Living Proof" in 73 Willard.

Penn Staters will share their personal stories in a panel discussion on Wednesday. These speakers will include a member who was adopted, a woman who had an abortion, and a woman who, despite adverse circumstances, gave life to her child. This forum will be held in 212 Eisenhower Chapel.

Do you remember Peg Luksik, the "housewife from Johnstown," who took 46 percent of the vote from Barbara Hafer in the 1990 Republican primaries for governor? She will speak on Thursday about her strong stand for life and answer any questions concerning her creation of Mom's House, a home for unwed mothers. This presentation will take place in 112 Chambers. All sessions will begin at 7 p.m. and will have question and answer periods to address your concerns. We only hope that you will try to end the ignorance by coming to Human Life Awareness Week.
