Columnist and pro-life activist Jill Stanek has joined the blogging community through the site jillstanek.com, The Pro-Life Pulse. Since 1999, Stanek has been a leading advocate for the unborn after she witnessed a live birth abortion. She writes,
The baby boy I held had been aborted alive at the gestational age of 21 weeks because he had Down syndrome. His parents did not want to hold him, and his attending nurse did not have time to hold him, so she was taking him to the Soiled Utility Room to die alone.
But I could not bear the thought of this suffering child dying alone, so I cradled and rocked him for the short time he lived.... My life changed after holding that little baby. I now work full-time in the pro-life movement.Jill’s life has indeed changed. President Bush asked her to attend his signing of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act and in January 2003, World Magazine named Jill one of the 30 most prominent pro-life leaders of the past 30 years.
Jill’s blog is one of the most recent additions to the prolifeblog.com aggregator and a great read.
Her latest column takes aim at a new strategy by "anti-lifers": hijacking pro-life terminology by suggesting the destruction of human life through embryonic stem cell research is a pro-life position.

Tim,
Thanks for giving the alert of my site to your readers. BTW, you gave a better synopsis of my column today than I did!
