Series to tackle abortion, two other divisive issues

Organizers of the inaugural \"Ideas Behind the News\" events of the Oakland Branch of the American Civil Liberties Union acknowledge the three-part series isn\'t a \"Crossfire\"-style debate. \"It\'s definitely discussed from a standpoint of taking action. It\'s not neutral,\" said Robert Sedler, a constitutional law professor at Wayne State University who will moderate the events. The series, which begins Tuesday, will focus on three divisive issues making headlines: affirmative action, abortion rights and intelligent design. ---\"Science Under Siege: The Challenge to Evolutionary Theory - \'Intelligent Design,\' \" at 7 p.m. Nov. 16 at the Birmingham Unitarian Church . Panelists include William Moore, professor of biological sciences at Wayne State University , and John Saliba, professor of religious sciences at the University of Detroit Mercy .
