thank you, Jill Stanck. Jill is an obstetrical nurse at Christ Hospital in Illinois. After observing a child born alive after an abortion procedure and left to die, she became involved in righting this wrong through the legislative process, hence, the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. On July 18 the other body voted unanimous consent to approve the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. The bill is now sent to the President for his signature. This bill passed both Chambers easily because we all felt, pro-lifers and those that are pro-choice, that infants who are born alive at any stage of development are individual human beings who are entitled to the full protection of the law. Thanks to the work of Jill Stanck, the Concerned Women of America, Members of both the House and the Senate, and soon President Bush, a baby born alive will not be left to die in a hospital again.
