Jill Stanek is a nurse who discovered babies were being aborted alive and shelved to die in soiled utility rooms while working at a hospital in Illinois and since has been a strong advocate against partial-birth and live-birth abortions.
According to her commentary on WorldNetDaily.com, Stanek explains why Keyes made his statement.
At the federal level, legislation was presented called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA) which stated all live-born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted.
BAIPA sailed through the U.S. Senate by unanimous vote and by an overwhelming majority in the House. President Bush signed the bill into law in 2002.
Stanek wrote that, “in Illinois, the state version of BAIPA repeatedly failed, thanks in large part to then-state Sen. Barack Obama. It only passed in 2005, after Obama left.”
“Obama articulately worried that legislation protecting live aborted babies might infringe on women's rights or abortionists' rights. Obama's clinical discourse, his lack of mercy, shocked me. I was naive back then. Obama voted against the measure, twice. It ultimately failed.”
“So, the reason Keyes said Jesus Christ wouldn't vote for Barack Obama was because of Obama's fanatical support of abortion to the point of condoning infanticide.”
In a recent USA Today opinion piece, Obama admitted being "nagged" by the Jesus-wouldn't-vote-for-him statement, but only because he wished he'd given a different comeback.
Obama’s initial response, as stated in USA Today was “that we live in a pluralistic society, and that I can't impose my religious views on another.” He added that he was running to be the U.S. senator of Illinois, and not a minister.
Stanek summarized Obama’s second response saying that “Obama insinuated opposition to abortion is based only on religion, lecturing pro-lifers like me to ‘explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths, including those with no faith at all.’”
“I don't recall mentioning religion when I testified against live-birth abortion. I only recall describing a live aborted baby I held in a hospital soiled utility room until he died, and a live aborted baby who was accidentally thrown into the trash,” she told WorldNetDaily.
Yet, Stanek pointed out that religion was never part of the abortion ban debate. “I recall comparisons made to U.S. laws ensuring animals being killed are treated humanely. I recall testimony that late-term babies feel excruciating pain while being aborted.”
Stanek concluded by asking Obama, why do “you think Jesus should vote for you?”
Doesn’t matter, other freepers tell me there is no difference between McCain and Obama. /sarcasm off/
Why does this not surprise me.

Pretty much mainstream democrat. Unwanted babies should be killed. Whether they are born or not was never a big issue.
I had been working for a year at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, as a registered nurse in the Labor and Delivery Department, when I heard in report that ...http://www.priestsforlife.org/testimony/jillstanektestimony.htm
Stanek also has her own website with a new poll question up on John McCain, plus contributes to the Illinois Review
If McCain shows us his awful temper on this issue during a debate, using vivid imagery, he has my full support.
The dirty bastard supported a bill to allow the murder of inconvenient born babies. That will not be overlooked.
Obama represents a level of cold-hearted evil that even transcends the cold-hearted evil of Hillary Clinton.
I know that’s a strong statement, but it’s true.
I’ll forever admire Alan Keyes’ courage in sacrificing so much to go into IL to challenge this evil and make sure the facts of this matter are known and on the table.
(YES "WE" CAN)
Of all the despicable things Democrats believe in, killing their own innocent unborn children is probably yhe worst.
when people want to say there is no difference between McCain ,Clinton, or Obama...well, here is your difference.
I’m disappointed in McCain’s recent (and incredibly stupid) support of embryonic stem cell research...but that is an issue that is quickly becoming moot because of the recent advances in adult stem cell technology.
We know Hillary could care less about a baby surviving an abortion attempt....McCain does not support infanticide.
Sigh...isn’t it sad that we have to point out something so basic as being a plus?....sad state of affairs we are in.
