Jill Stanek

I was a registered nurse in the Labor & Delivery Department at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, in 1999 when discovering babies were being aborted alive and shelved to die in the soiled utility room.

Went public when hospital leaders said that they would not stop. The disclosure immediately grabbed the attention of legislators and media.

Was asked to testify before a U.S. House committee in 2000 and 2001 for the Born Alive Infants Protection Act.

Was fired in August 2001 by Christ Hospital for reasons related to my public outspokenness to its abortion practices.

Was invited by President George W. Bush for his August 2002 signing of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which will protect live aborted children from infanticide. Was also asked to his signing of invitation when he signed the signed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban in November 2003, which protects partially delivered babies from being killed by abortion.

Was named by World Magazine in January 2003 as one of 30 prominent pro-life leaders over the past 30 years, an honor more deserved by innumerable others, but appreciated nonetheless.

Am now a weekly columnist for WorldNetDaily.com and a public speaker on the pro-life issue.

Along with husband Rich have three great children. The oldest two are married and have produced altogether four beautiful grandchildren. We attend Parkview Christian Church in Orland Park, Illinois.

quote of the day

Abortion is confounding. Normally, a critical mass of politicians figures out where the middle is and scampers there.

That doesn't happen when it comes to abortion. Most Americans want abortion legal but restricted, and they feel more squeamish about later abortions than earlier ones.

Republicans have picked up on that and therefore focused on late abortions. Democrats, following the cues of the pro-choice activists, have never parried in the most sellable way.

Why don't Democrats hammer this point? Because by emphasizing that Republicans would ban even early-term abortions, Democrats would be implicitly leaving open the possibility that Republicans might be right about late-term abortions.

~ Steve Waldman, former editor of U.S. News & World Report, in a Wall Street Journal op ed, July 22
