Jill Stanek, a weekly columnist for WorldNetDaily.com, and active member in the pro-life community, was on to talk about her work in helping to pass the Born Alive Protection Act. Jill had worked as a registerd nurse at Christ Hospital in Chicago, where born alive abortions were being performed, and the babies were being left to die in an old utility closet. Jill protested privately, but the hospital continued with the abortions, so she took to the national stage, and has appeared on many tv and radio shows, and been quoted in many national newspapers. She has also testified twice before the Judiciary Constituion Subcommitee of the US House of Representatives. Jill recieved the Life Prizes Award by the Gerard Foundation in January. She continues to be a leader in the pro-life community. Her blog can be found at jillstanek.com
