Jill Stanek (born 1956) is an American pro-life activist and nurse from Illinois best known for saying "live birth abortions" were being performed at Christ Hospital in the Chicago suburb of Oak Lawn and the premature infants were being left to die in a utility room. More recently, she has accused President Barack Obama of supporting infanticide while a member of the Illinois State Senate, referring to Obama's opposition to Born Alive Infants Protection legislation. The Christian magazine ''World'' named Stanek one of the 30 most prominent pro-life leaders during the thirty years following Roe v. Wade. Since 2003, Stanek has been a regular columnist for ''WorldNetDaily''. Stanek also has her own blog, at (JillStanek.com ). Stanek testified twice before the Judiciary Constitution Subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives, and in several state legislatures. She is also a frequent speaker at state and local pro-life events. Stanek ran for the Republican nomination for the Illinois House of Representatives in 2002, on a pro-life platform, but was defeated.〔Herman, Andrew. High-profile candidate dives into local race. Chicago Sun-Times, Feb. 14, 2002.〕 As of 2009, she lives in Mokena, Illinois.〔http://www.jillstanek.com/2009/06/the-baby-blog-hoax/〕 ==Christ Hospital controversy== Stanek gained initial prominence in 1999 when she testified that, while she worked as a nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, infants that survived induced labor abortions were abandoned to die in a utility room.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Stanek's testimony )〕 These allegations led to a formal investigation by the Illinois Department of Public Health, which stated that the hospital violated no state laws. Shortly thereafter, Advocate Health Care changed its policy on induced labor abortions, barring its use against fetuses with non-lethal developmental issues.〔Tom McCann. ''Hospital fires critic of abortion procedure''. Chicago Tribune. September 3, 2001〕 A Christ Hospital spokesman admitted "that between 10 percent and 20 percent of fetuses with genetic defects that are aborted survive for short periods outside the womb."〔McKinney, Dave. Bill proposes care for fetus after abortion. Chicago Sun-Times, Mar. 31, 2001〕 At the signing ceremony for the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, President George W. Bush named Stanek in his speech, publicly thanking her for being in attendance.〔"(President Signs Born-Alive Infants Protection Act )," White House press release, August 5, 2002.
