When it would have been easier to look the other way, Jill Stanek's commitment to Christ led her to risk her job, reputation and friendships to stop the terrible practices of abortion and infanticide. Jill was a registered nurse in the Labor & Delivery Department at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill. She discovered not only were abortions being committed there, but babies were being aborted alive to die without medical care.

When hospital leaders said that they would not stop, Jill went public and has become a national figure in the effort to protect both born and pre-born infants.

Jill has been quoted in the national media on television, on radio in print, and by local and national legislators. Some examples include:

• Fox News Channel programs "O'Reilly Factor" and "Hannity and Colmes"

   

• Newsweek, U. S. News and World Report, the Washington Times, the New York Times, World Magazine, and Christianity Today

   

• Chuck Colson's "Breakpoint"; Dr. Laura's television program, Dr. James Dobson's "Focus on the Family" radio program, Fr. Frank Pavone's television program, "Defending Life," Dr. D. James Kennedy's Coral Ridge Ministries radio and television programs

Jill has now testified twice before the Judiciary Constitution Subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives and in several state legislatures. Her written testimony has been read several times in key U.S. congressional debates on the Partial Birth Abortion Ban and Born Alive Infants Protection Act.

Jill remained at the hospital fighting the fight from the inside, until she was terminated in 2001 for reasons related to her public outspokenness about its abortion practices.

On Aug. 5, 2002, President George W. Bush invited Jill to his signing of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which protects live aborted children from infanticide. Jill was honored to be publicly thanked for her help with the bill by the president during his speech.

In January 2003, World Magazine named Jill one of the 30 most prominent pro-life leaders in the movement over the past 30 years.

Jill writes on pro-life issues as a weekly columnist for WorldNetDaily.com.

A member of Parkview Christian Church in Orland Park, Ill., Jill is wife to Rich and mother to Michael, Timothy and Daena, mother-in-law to Bernadine and grandmother to Gabriel and Shane. She has addressed many groups at the national, regional and local levels sharing her testimony and giving an insider's view to the atrocity of abortion.
