Who's Blogging  |
At the Republican National Convention, you can't swing a messenger bag without hitting a blogger; the place is lousy with them. Here's one worth clicking on.
Your blog: Pro-Life Pulse, born May 2005, at JillStanek.com.
Your real job: a former registered nurse, now a full-time blogger.
Your blogger name, and why:"Everyone knows me by Jill Stanek."
Other deets:52, married with three kids and four grandsons, lives in Mokena, Ill., a suburb of Chicago.
First things first -- you quit your job as a nurse to blog?
Not exactly. I was a registered nurse for eight years and I got fired from my job because I was very vocal in my opposition to abortion. In short, I had to switch gears. I was asked to speak a lot, expressing what had happened at work and my pro-life views. A couple of years later I started a column on a news site. Then I started blogging.
So what's up with your blog name?
It's a play on words. I'm a nurse, and I try to keep my finger on the pulse of the pro-life movement. I'm not a member of any pro-life group, by the way. I consider myself a citizen journalist and I try to blog honestly not only on what the other side is doing but our side is doing -- and not doing.
