You'd think from the national press coverage, Jill Stanek is just your typical Pro-Life Activist. Not so much. I've been covering Jill for going on six years now and she never fails to disappoint about bringing the crazy.
She’s been making the rounds and is even being treated seriously by the New York Times–something local Illinois reporters have largely stopped doing because they learned.
Here are my archives of Stanek’s craziness followed by some of my favorites
She discussed how beating your wife was justified when she had an abortion:
That spontaneous slap was the reaction of a real man who a woman had just told she aborted his baby. Compare that to the modern day cowardly male response, "It’s your choice. Whatever you decide, I’ll support you." Or worse, his threat to abandon her if she does not abort.
It was this fierce devotion to family that strangely endeared us to the Corleone men despite their otherwise heinous behavior.
There’s a rather odd discussion on Mr. Brooks that no one can make any sense of.
She works with Eric Scheidler and his father Joe Scheidlerwho is a violent anti-abortion activist who was convicted under RICO laws later overturned due to Constitutional issues. Regardless, Scheidler has a strange coincidence of showing up at abortion protests that turn violent.
She claimed the Chinese eat babies and then when confronted with the point that such claims were debunked, held to the argument that Snopes debunking article was before the new claim so it had no value.
She said of Illinois State Representative John Fritchey:
Fritchey works toward his Teen Genocide Promotion award
And my favorite, she compared the Illinois Senate Majority Leader to a porn star because she had HPV.
Here, Here, Here, Here, Here
To this day she claims Terri Schiavo was aware
Her claims about Christ Hospital were never substantiated when Pro-Life Illinois AG Jim Ryan’s office investigated her ‘claim to fame.’
Yet despite all of this, the New York Times, the AP, The Washington Post, and others have treated her as a serious person.
Substantively she completely misses the boat as the Obama campaign points out, but beyond that, she's just crazy.
