Issue Monday: A Pro-Life Generation

January 16, 2017 from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Recent studies indicate that Millennials are more pro-life than previous generations. Why is this generational shift happening? What are the options today to reduce abortion? Will a Trump/Pence administration defund Planned Parenthood? As we approach the 44th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, could the Supreme Court overturn it?

Explore these topics and more as we welcome Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life, to Colorado Christian University.
