A Tribute to John Stanton

   

 By Edel Finnegan, Executive Director
Pro-Life Union of Greater Philadelphia

John Stanton was the loving and proud father of 12, grandfather of 46, great-grandfather of six, and faithful husband to his dear Harriet, who has selflessly sacrificed along with John for the cause of life. John was a protector of the unborn and a champion of chastity.

In the mid 1960s, while working as a businessman, John was alerted by Dr. Francis McGeery, to the oncoming abortion onslaught, and offered his talents generously and faithfully to resist. He has been an organizer and a leader for the pro-life movement on both the state and national levels since then. He was a founding member of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation and the National Right to Life Committee, and has been a mentor to countless pro-lifers over the years.
