From February 25 through 29 Calvin College will host Unborn Week, five days of
events celebrating the sanctity of human life. Unborn Week is sponsored by the
Calvin College Republicans (CCR).

Unborn Week will kick off with a lecture on neonatal development and medical
ethics by Dr. John Anema at 4 p.m., Monday, February 25 in the Alumni
Association Board Room (AABR). The next day Christina Malone, former director
of the Alpha Women’s Center, will speak at 4 p.m. in the same location. Suanne
Thompson of National Right to Life will speak at 4 p.m. on February 27 in the
AABR with Nancy Williman of Bethany Christian Services sharing "The Adoption
Option" at 4 p.m. on February 28 in the Commons Lecture Hall. The final event
of Unborn Week will be a showing of "Bella" at 8 p.m. on February 29 in the
Bytwerk Video Theater.

The student organizers said that the title "Unborn Week" was inspired by
"Unlearn Week," Calvin's annual exploration of anti-racism and diversity
issues. And though Unborn Week is sponsored by the Calvin College Republicans,
that group is emphatic that it has not been planned as a partisan event.

"All Christians should be able to say, 'Yes, I'm pro-life,'" said Jared
Rispens, a CCR chair and coordinator of the event.
