So many lives have been touched by John Stanton. He was a very quiet, gentle man, but one who had a very powerful presence in our pro-life community. I can't do justice to his many accomplishments as well as others have, so I'm adding the links to their tributes below.

A Tribute to John Stanton: The Founder of Pennsylvania's
Pro-Life Movement
John's
death on January 31, 2014 at the age of 86, marks the passing of the leader of
efforts to protect women and children from abortion in Pennsylvania prior to
Roe v. Wade. His leadership has resulted
in hundreds of thousands of women and children being saved from abortion in
Pennsylvania.
The
Pennsylvania pro-life movement's continuing efforts to effect pro-life state
government policies stand on John's shoulders.
Let's begin to honor his legacy by stopping state funding for
Pennsylvania's abortion industry. continue reading at http://voicesunborn.blogspot.com
In thanksgiving for his
love and service to us. We are so grateful for your heroic work in
defending the life of the unborn. You are missed and loved.
