The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : Mute Pro-Choicers

Text Size

A growing sidebar of the James Pouillon murder (he was gunned down while peacefully protesting outside an abortion clinic across the street from a high school in Owosso, Michigan) is the silence of national pro-choice organizations.

I ran a quick search, and none of the biggies - NARAL Pro-Choice America, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, or the National Organization for Women - have issued statements condemning the murder. (President Obama was late to the party, but he did end up issuing a statement on the killing.)

On its home page, the National Abortion Federation gives top billing to mourning the loss of Ted Kennedy and to remembering George Tiller, whom NAF calls "an American hero." Tiller was a late-term abortionists who was murdered May 31 at his church.

In contrast, a number of pro-life groups issued statements the day of Tiller's death condemning acts of violence in the heated abortion debate (National Right to Life and Americans United for Life, to name two). Naturally, pro-choice groups put out their own releases. But the non-existent response from abortion advocates over the cold-blooded murder of Pouillon - a man standing up for life and exercising his constitutional rights - should give us pause.

Could be that one side in this debate does, in fact, value human life more than the other.

The Right cares about human lives, even those of Hell-bound mass-murderers like Tiller. The Left hates all humanity and wants to kill as many humans of all ages as it can get away with killing.

Hello David...

Jim Poullion was shot across the street from the Owosso High School (not an abortion clinic-there aren't any in Owosso), in front of several high school students. The killer (Harlan Drake) shot him more than 17 times-using two guns at once...luckily he missed Jim's oxygen tank...

As far as Pro-Choice/Now Activists are concerned, it's interesting that "tolerance" only applies to their causes or what affects them directly...how sad!

Thank you.

NARAL did issue a comment, but everyone else has been silent. See http://www.lifenews.com/state4414.html

Oh, come on, folks!!! Gee, give these guys a break. The Choicers usher in the deaths of millions. How can you expect them to get all bent out of shape over the death of one nobody.

But was it murder, or was it JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE?

After all, the dead person was a right-to-lifer....

In our daily intercourse, we may easily see the word "TS" in conversion tool field, such as MPEG-2 TS Video, HD .TS Video, Video_TS, Audio_TS, TS, M2TS, MTS, etc. Can you identify them? What's your TS Format?
