I love hanging around with pro-lifers who don't take crap. Gregg Cunningham, executive director of the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, is 1 of those. If you're blessed to be a friend or colleague of Gregg's, he blind copies you on emails he writes to detractors and opponents of CBR's work. Gregg's wit always cracks me up, and his chutzpah always inspires me. Yesterday Gregg copied me on an email he sent to Pam Cysner, Student Affairs Officer at UCLA. The administration at UCLA has been jerking CBR's student co-sponsors around for a year trying to keep CBR from reserving...

For 36 years, pro-aborts have engaged in a risky public-relations campaign to detract from their mounting preborn baby body count. It is pro-lifers, not pro-aborts, who are violent, they have said. While collectively and openly advancing the abortions of over 50 million children, they have held up as evidence six unbalanced people calling themselves pro-life, but repudiated by the pro-life community, who have aborted eight abortion workers. Totally illogical, but nevertheless, with liberal media and political support, the accusation has stuck. Not that I've ever minded. Having such a reputation has brought me closer than anything else to knowing how...

By now you're likely one of 1.5 million people who have seen the graphic video of Neda Soltan dying after being shot in the chest on June 20, 2009, during protests in Iran following the presidential election. The video shows Neda collapsing into the arms of two men, who try to stop her bleeding with their bare hands. Suddenly, Neda's eyes roll up and to the right, almost as if they are looking at the cell phone video camera chronicling her death. Blood begins pouring from her mouth and nose, into one eye and down her face. Cries erupt from...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- MSNBC talking head Keith Olbermann has named pro-life nurse and blogger Jill Stanek the "Worst Person in the World" during that segment of his Thursday night broadcast. Stanek is the pro-life nurse who uncovered live birth abortions at a hospital in Chicago that led to a national law prohibiting the practice.On her blog, Stanek has noted how late-term abortion practitioner LeRoy Carhart of Nebraska is one of the few remaining people to do abortions so late in pregnancy now that George Tiller has been killed.As LifeNews.com has noted, Stanek posted pictures of Carhart's Belleview-based abortion...

I spoke this morning with Jill Stanek, a leading antiabortion activist and blogger (and active Twitterer), about what the murder of George Tiller, who was director of a Kansas clinic that performed abortions, means for her movement. The conversation provides a window into the anxieties antiabortion activists are feeling today: Do you worry that Tiller's murder will tarnish the antiabortion movement at a time when more Americans than ever are calling themselves "pro-life"?It's a personal tragedy that a vigilante killed a guy who has, I think, four kids and 10 grandchildren. As a pro-life movement, our whole reason for existence...

I was at the Grotto on the Notre Dame campus Sunday afternoon when President Barack Obama received his honorary doctor of laws degree and gave his commencement speech. At the same time, Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life officiated an alternative service for those who couldn't bear to see such a prominent enabler of child murder lauded at a Catholic university. Whoops, was "prominent enabler of child murder" the sort of "demonizing" Obama preached against in his homily? I did indeed think at first it was a homily. While listening to Father Pavone with one ear, I listened to...

From Jill Stanek at http://www.jillstanek.com/ May 17, 2009 Notre Dame update 5/17, 7:40a EST Turns out Norma McCorvey, the Roe in Roe v. Wade who is now pro-life, wanted to get arrested with Fr. Weslin yesterday and was insulted when police pushed her aside to grab the frail old guy. (Above photo shows Norma to Fr.'s right just before the arrest.) Norma attended the rally last night. This would be the quote of the day were it not Sunday. From Fox News, yesterday: Asked what she'd say to President Obama if given the opportunity, McCorvey replied, "I can't talk like...

This video is well worth watching! It was taken by well-known pro-life activist and blogger Jill Stanek from a CBR Truth Truck (driven by AIP of Florida Vice-Chairman Carl Bibeau). What you'll see is mile after mile of pro-lifers lining all of the approaches to Notre Dame University yesterday as the supposedly Catholic Institution of Higher Learning proved itself to be nothing of the sort. Amazing footage!

This is finals week for students at the University of Notre Dame. But a new kind of buzz may be getting in the way of scoring good grades, and it's not illegal (yet, anyway). For the past 10 days the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform has been conducting an air and land campaign in, around and over the Notre Dame campus to educate students and faculty exactly what its intended May 17 commencement honoree, President Barack Obama, supports by being "pro-choice." On the roads are CBR's "Reproductive 'Choice' Trucks," six-paneled moving billboards with large signs such as these plastered on...

On Jan. 20, 2009, Barack Obama began his death march as the most anti-life president in U.S. history. Today marks Obama's 100th day in office. This list substantiates Obama's personnel and policies to that end. He actually started way before Day 1: Day -75: Names pro-abortion Rahm Emmanuel as chief of staff, who earned a 100 percent approval rating from NARAL while congressman. Day -59: Appoints executive director of EMILY's List, Ellen Moran, as White House communications director. Day -56: Names Melody Barnes, who previously served on the boards of EMILY's List and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, as his director...

It occurred to me the White House might be forced to nominate radically pro-abort Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as Department of Health and Human Services secretary after news leaked last week it was pausing due to her loathsome reputation among pro-lifers. Fear of pro-abortion recrimination, pride, whatever. But it never occurred to me a pro-lifer legislator would applaud the pick, never mind two. But that's what happened when Sens. Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts issued a glowing joint statement congratulating their home girl: It's an honor for the State of Kansas to have an elected official appointed to the...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A leading pro-life group for youth is launching a new national project to bring the pro-life messages to churches across the country. Stand True Ministries, which sponsors the day of silence for the unborn featuring red tape and armbands, is behind the Abortion Survivor Sunday event.A large percentage of churches nationwide have one or two Sundays a year where teenagers are allowed to lead the service or a Sunday School class.The idea behind the event is to infuse pro-life themes into those services or classes."We think the Sunday before the anniversary of the decriminalization of...

I probably don't need to say much more than the Washington Post and USA Today wrote glowingly of a new "pro-life" plan. Red flags arise. Last week USA Today editorialized: Realism seems to have struck some ardent foes of abortion. After 35 years of trying to outlaw the procedure nationally while chipping away at abortion rights state by state, they have decided to add a new and sensible initiative. They'll work with the other side to reduce the number of abortions. It's not that the opponents changed their minds or that they're any less committed to their cause. It's...

I regret to report it was pro-life dissidents who caused the defeat of the South Dakota abortion ban initiative and worsened the lopsided trouncing of the Colorado personhood amendment. According to Medical News Today: The defeat of abortion ballot measures across the country… may have been the result of divisions among anti-abortion groups. … Opposition to the measure in South Dakota came from the anti-abortion groups American Life League and South Dakota Right to Life. The groups did not support the measure because of its exceptions to the abortion ban – cases of rape or incest or in narrowly defined...

Barack Hussein Obama, staunch defender of a form of infanticide that Caligula would have found appalling, is now President of the United States of America, thanks to the votes of 63 million Americans. Why is it that despite my months-long dread of the impending Obama presidency, at the moment I feel nothing but an urge to suppress a howl of laughter at this absurd development? During Obama's long campaign for the White House...

LifeNews.com Note: Jill Stanek fought to stop "live birth abortions" after witnessing one as an RN at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois. Her speaking out led to the Born Alive Infants Protection Act legislation, signed by President Bush, that would ensure that proper medical care be given to unborn children who survive botched abortion attempts.It was the Sunday after the election, and everywhere I looked I could only see impending doom. There is no way God would have allowed Barack Obama to become president were He not finally turning America over to judgment, to whatever great or lesser extent...

Barack Obama was elected president despite the fact he supports abortion into the fourth trimester. Either the 63 million people voting for him didn't know about his radical record, which includes abandoning abortion survivors to die, didn't care, or didn't believe it. Meanwhile all three state pro-life initiatives failed Tuesday: the California Abortion Waiting Period and Parental Notification Initiative, the Colorado Equal Rights Amendment (defining personhood as beginning at conception) and the South Dakota Abortion Ban Initiative. And both state anti-life initiatives passed: the Michigan Stem Cell Initiative (allowing human embryo experimentation) and the Washington Death with Dignity Initiative (allowing...

OBAMA STORIES FOR KIDS #1 - Barack and William Ayers OBAMA STORIES FOR KIDS #2 - Barack and Odinga In our effort to expose Obama so that even children can understand, here is OBAMA STORIES FOR KIDS #3 - Barack and Abortion

On a hot summer day a little over two years ago, Sycloria Williams was in the throes of an induced-labor abortion of 22-week-old Shanice when the baby delivered alive. A clinic worker, along with Williams, witnessed Gonzalez cut the cord and place the moving, breathing baby in a biohazard bag partially filled with chlorine bleach and zip it shut. ...For nine days, the baby baked in the Florida sun until Gonzalez, thinking the coast was clear, retrieved her only to have the worker call police again, who this time found the baby. DNA evidence linked Shanice to Sycloria.

At long last I've got this video formatted correctly and posted on YouTube. On September 29, 2000, I was interviewed on the O'Reilly Factor about my experience as an RN at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, IL, holding a live aborted baby. Bill O'Reilly was uncharacteristically speechless a couple times throughout, which may be why he chose to replay this as one of his five highlights of the year on December 28, 2000.

Appearing on C-SPAN last weekend I mentioned that Barack Obama had opposed the Born Alive Infants Protection Act when he was an Illinois state senator — a position he has attempted to deny or obfuscate ever since. The liberal blogger who appeared on the program with me erupted with indignation. She didn’t deny that Obama had opposed the bill. She denied, hotly, that babies are ever born alive after an attempted abortion. Since I have actually met Gianna Jessen, who survived an attempted abortion, I invited viewers to contact me directly if they wanted evidence. My inbox has been bursting....

...Jill Stanek reports that, while she was a registered nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn Illinois, "babies were being aborted alive and shelved to die in the soiled utility room." Barack Obama personally orchestrated the defeat of legislation that would have made this illegal in Illinois, and then he lied about it in the bargain. ...the executive summary is as follows. "Babies were being aborted alive and shelved to die in the soiled utility room." Illinois legislators introduced legislation to make this illegal. Barack Obama sabotaged and derailed this legislation under color of protecting Roe vs. Wade, even though...

Obama's 10 reasons for supporting infanticide Posted: January 16, 2008 1:00 am Eastern By Jill Stanek © 2008 I was intimately involved in the five-year process to pass the Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act, testifying before committees twice that then-state Sen. Barack Obama sat on. Following are 10 excuses Obama has given through the years for voting "present" and "no" on the Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act, or BAIPA. 10. Babies who survive abortions are not protected by the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. Obama, the sole opponent ever to speak against BAIPA, stated on the Illinois...

Frank Pastore from KKLA in Los Angeles interviews Jill Stanek, the former registered nurse who served at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois. She testified before Congress about the death of infants who survived the abortion procedure only to die without care, giving rise to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. Frank Pastore: As you know Sarah Palin has five children her youngest is a child that has Down syndrome. She was diagnosed, obviously while she was still pregnant with the child, and she chose to go forward. You have got to remember that 90 percent of Down syndrome children...

"Kill and Destroy" Synopsis: Featuring an interview with Jill Stanek, "Kill and Destroy" explores Barack Hussein Obama's support of infanticide in Illinois, an alarming decision that was opposed by every Democrat and Republican in the U.S. Senate."What does it take to make a man a monster any more?" Illuminati Pictures president Molotov Mitchell recently wrote. "If Americans can watch this video and still support Barack Obama, then America is...beyond all hope."

I now know what Barack Obama was thinking when he said he wouldn't want his daughters "punished with a baby" if they "ma[d]e a mistake" and had premarital sex.How pathetic that Obama obviously had his own tribe, liberals, in mind, who sure know how to mete out punishment with vicious aplomb at such times.Thanks to a Daily Kos blogger, who falsely accused Sarah Palin of faking her pregnancy with now 4-month-old son Trig to cover for his real mother, her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, the Palin family was forced to announce Sept. 1 that unmarried Bristol is five months pregnant.Besides the...

With a Fox News helicopter overhead and police at bay below, pro-lifers are more than halfway toward their official Guinness Book of World Records attempt to display the largest ever protest sign.

Barack Obama has painted himself into a corner by his vote against the Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Act. He made this evident at Pastor Rick Warren's Aug. 17 Saddleback Showdown. Warren asked both presidential candidates the same questions separately. Here was his best one: "At what point does a baby get human rights in your view?" Very simple. But Obama wouldn't answer it. His now infamous response: "Well, I think that whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade." The most...

Jill Stanek has done yeoman's work on uncovering the fact that Barack Obama and his surrogates have been outright lying about Obama's constant votes against the Live-Birth abortion bills when he was in office in the State legislature. His claims have been a staple of Old Media reports from the beginning, but now that Stanek has revealed the truth we will have to see if the Old Media corrects the record or if they suddenly just go mum on the subject like they have so far. The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA) both in the Illinois and Federal legislatures was...

Barack and probably Michelle Obama don’t like Catholics very much, and it easy to see why. While very few Americans of any religion have any use for atrocities like partial birth abortion and infanticide, Catholics provide much of the pro-life movement’s leadership. Catholics are therefore a major threat to Obama’s political aspirations, and this doubtlessly plays a major role in Obama’s promotion of anti-Catholic hate organizations. As shown below, MoveOn.org circulated an anti-Catholic hate cartoon that is very similar to the work of the infamous 19th century cartoonist Thomas Nast. In addition, MoveOn.org’s now disgraced Action Forum welcomed the most...

In February 2004, U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, sent a fund-raising letter with the "alarming news" that "right-wing politicians" had passed a law stopping doctors from stabbing half-born babies in the neck with scissors, suctioning out their brains and crushing their skulls.

A pro-life nurse is seconding a statement made by Alan Keyes that Jesus Christ would not vote for Barack Obama, pointing to his support for infanticide. Jill Stanek is a nurse who discovered babies were being aborted alive and shelved to die in soiled utility rooms whicl working at a hospital in Illinois and since has been a strong advocate against aprtioal-birth and live-birth abortions. ....

The election news could not have appeared grimmer in the immediate aftermath. South Dakota's abortion ban went down. Parental notification lost in California and Oregon. Missourians approved the embryonic stem cell initiative. Kansans condoned child rape and illegal late-term abortions by ousting Attorney General Phill Kline. Add to that the loss of the GOP Senate majority, which means for starters no more conservative judges, and the loss of the GOP House majority, which means for starters a promised bill within the first 100 hours of the new session to federally fund embryonic stem cell research, and, well ... But as...
