On Tuesday, April 20th, at 7:00 p.m. in the Maucker Union Ballroom Melissa Ohden will be coming to campus to speak. The event is called A Voice for the Voiceless: The Melissa Ohden Story. At about five months' gestation, Melissa Ohden survived a saline abortion and was placed in a neonatal unit, where her parents found her and adopted her. Melissa has experience working in a social welfare agency and is a member of the pro-woman organization Feminists for Life. She travels across the United States, speaking to college audiences. She says, " My biological mother was in college when she chose to abort me. I deserved better. My biological mother deserved better, too." This event is being sponsored by the Student Organization Speakers Fund and is being hosted by the student organization UNI Right to Life.
