by Kelly Kesner Pat Chivers, the Director of Government Relations of Right to Life Organization
visited Georgia State University on April 3, 2003 for the Student Health Lawyers
Association's program for Law Week. Originally, this program had been set
up as an abortion debate, with speakers on the pro-choice side of this
controversial issue as well. However, due to a last-minute cancellation,

issue, and share her views on abortion.
