A powerful pro-life internet presence has evolved over the years in response to the repulsive pro-abortion news coverage we have come to expect from the left-wing, mainstream media. As we outline below, there are countless great pro-life blogs, pro-life news sites, pro-life organization websites, and pro-life activist sites out there. But now we have The Stanek Report.  The Stanek Report  serves as an invaluable, prolife news aggregation website pulling many of these resources together on one user friendly news site.  If you like the Drudge Report, you will love  The Stanek Report. **************** **************************** Earlier this year, we highlighted many of the...

Abortion proponents and news outlets have recently enjoyed publicizing the antics of pro-choice husband and wife “troll” team, Grayson and Tina Haver Currin, who began in March to hold off-putting signs next to those being held by pro-lifers at the A Preferred Women’s Health Center abortion clinic in Raleigh, North Carolina. The couple’s attempt to make light of murdering babies even made international headlines, like in Denmark… And they’ve spawned other trolls, like in front of the San Francisco Planned Parenthood… The only problem is, abortion clinics don’t want them there. These people think they’re cute, but they’re hurting business....

I admit I often demonize abortion supporters in my mind. The ones I usually deal with are the hard core industry or political types, and they can indeed come across beyond cold and calloused. Nevertheless, having been convicted through Scripture, I’ve been trying (although admittedly failing as often as I succeed – but I’m getting better, truly!) to more even-handedly communicate with them. This week I read Romans 15:15-16 and took the passage our direction. The pertinent sentence: I’m doing this because God gave me the gift to be a servant of Christ Jesus to people who are not Jewish....

I received the following email this week and given permission to ask all of you this brave pro-life teen’s question: Ho. I’m a proud fifteen year old pro-life Jesus Freak named ____. I just want to say God bless you for your work saving babies. Also how do you handle when you get yelled at and called evil for being pro-life? Someone insulted me and called me evil and stupid and un-Christian. What’s the best way to deal with it? Your suggestions?

Did Obama vote in favor infanticide? Pro-life activists have long made the argument that he did, and that a conspiracy of silence from the mainstream media is the only thing that has prevented Americans from knowing the full extent of Obama’s extreme views on the abortion issue. Now, newly unearthed audio from 2002 shows Barack Obama, then a state senator in Illinois, discussing the bill that has elicited charges that he voted to allow “infanticide”: the Born Alive Infant Protection Act (BAIPA). The bill was introduced after pro-life nurse Jill Stanek witnessed babies being born alive after failed abortions, then...

About 2 a.m. this morning someone(s) threw several bricks through the front window the Chicago north side home of pro-life luminaries Joe and Ann Scheidler, president and VP of the Pro-Life Action League.One of the bricks had a weird, expletive-ridden note wrapped around it, which you can read on page 2. The vandal(s) were clearly pro-aborts. The one writing the note was apparently post-abortive.I called Ann to make sure she and Joe were ok. She relayed an interesting tidbit.“I just remembered that the Illinois Choice Action Team held a training session last night for deathscorts to go to the...

Well, this is rich. God speed to Robin Marty, who blogged at the pro-abortion RH Reality Check until today, the day her son will be delivered by c-section.I read Robin’s tweets and know she loves being a mom. I also know she has suffered the loss of a baby through miscarriage.I hope Robin’s 2nd miracle of birth persuades her to fully embrace the sanctity of life, so she doesn’t have to twist her logic and emotions into pretzels.I also hope the pro-choice friends who have surrounded Robin will be given pause to reconsider their position by the miracle of...

The News is Getting Around... Starting to cause a stir... Dear Friend, I am praying about running for President in 2012. Please read the following news stories that discuss this: Last month, Washington-area residents watched dozens of TV commercials that featured gruesome images of aborted fetuses. In two years, many more Americans might be faced with similar ads if a prominent anti-abortion activist makes good on his plans. Randall Terry -- the fiery activist who recruited D.C. resident Missy Reilly Smith to run for congressional delegate, thus clearing access to the airwaves -- announced this week that he plans to...

I expect liberal feminists won't mind this, since they support those formerly known as prostitutes: "sex workers." From the New York Post, today: A reality show that promises to sell off 3 virgins to the highest bidder is - to say the least - raising a storm of controversy on 2 sides of the Pacific.... The show is the brainchild of an Australian filmmaker, Justin Sisley [pictured above], and will be made for TV there. But, as of yesterday, the show was set to be filmed in NV. The 3 virgins - 2 women and 1 man - are to...

Praise God ... pro-lifer Todd Bullis, of Ventura, CA, activist fame, has created Pro-Lifetube.com. The pro-life community has needed this for a long time! Todd is a software developer, saw the need, and filled it. Thank you, Todd! Any and all pro-lifers can now upload their videos and photos to Pro-Lifetube.com, just as they would to YouTube, but without fear of being expunged. Todd has spent weeks adding what pro-life videos he could find on YouTube to give Pro-Lifetube.com a solid base. One of the videos he found was this disturbing clip, which I had never seen... This video was...

I've reported previously on the massive pro-life protests and prayer vigils at a St. Paul, MN, Planned Parenthood abortion mill as well as PP's annual "Good Friday solidarity event." Well, PP of MN, ND, and SD is closing that mill and building a 46,000 sq. ft., 3-story mega-mill in an industrial park. Why now? According to StarTribune.com: [Sarah] Stoesz [president and CEO of PP in MN], said PP is preparing for a possible increase in demand because of the new federal health care bill, which will add millions of people to insurance rolls starting in 2014. Many will be the...

In response to Rep. Bart Stupak's announcement that he and other self-labeled "pro-life" Democrats will vote in favor of Healthcare reform legislation with the addition of an Executive Order from the White House to address concerns about abortion funding, Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund President Marjorie Dannenfelser offered the following statement:

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!
