RSSTiller and Pouillan: Two Murders, Selective Outrage
Gene Lalor | September 12, 2009
When abortionist Dr. George Tiller was murdered in May because the good doctor practiced infanticide by aborting full-term babies, the abortion lobby went ballistic, the president issued a statement of his shock and outrage, and Attorney General Holder called out the National Guard to protect abortionists nationwide.
Ok, that last is hyperbolic; Holder merely dispatched federal marshalls to protect abortionists nationwide. The point is that there was an uproar.
Called “Tiller the Killer” by some pro-life activists, Dr. Tiller had maintained one of only two practices in the nation dedicated to performing “late term abortions.” His senseless murder evoked widespread horror from groups which concurred with such infanticide as well as from the president of the United States.
(See “A Postscript for Dr. George Tiller,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1045, and “Murder in the Church,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1043 for more detail on Tiller’s murder.)
Last Friday, 63 year old James Lawrence Pouillan was murdered outside Owasso (Michigan) High School.
Google his name and you get all of one story, a brief Facebook statement by the American Family Association: “A peaceful prolife activist, James Pouillon, was murdered this morning as he peacefully displayed a sign depicting a smiling child below the word ‘Life.’ Mr. Pouillan, 63, was by all accounts a friendly and likeable man who was dedicated to protecting the lives of the unborn through peaceful demonstration. Please pray for Mr. Pouillan’s family.”
From the White House, no expression of shock and outrage, not a peep in a week. From AG Holder, no National Guard and no federal marshalls dispatched to protect Right to Lifers nationwide.
Which crime is worthy of capital punishment? Calls have been made for the execution of Tiller’s alleged crazed murderer, Scott Philip Roeder. Harlan James Drake, the alleged killer of Pouillan, maintained a hit list, may have killed a second man, and was “offended” at his victim’s anti-abortion stance.
Pro-abortionists may offer Drake a medal.
As opposed to Tillers’ commitment to end the lives of the pre-born, Pouillan opposed mindless killings of the most defenseless of all victims of violence, the pre-born, and he had the audacity to express his moral and constitutional rights: http://tinyurl.com/mvxfro.
We live in a violent world and in an increasingly violent country but should not each and every victim of violent death be accorded comparable attention?
Or should our media and our government pick and choose which murders merit coverage and recognition and which do not?
Apparently, if the victim practices infanticide, like Dr. Tiller, he’s accorded honors. If the victim had opposed abortion, as Pouillan did, he is relegated to the same scrap heap as Dr. Teller’s victims. http://tinyurl.com/mvxfro
I previously expressed my hope, and expectation, that Dr. George Tiller never rest in peace and that he spend his eternity in the Hell he so richly deserves. I also hope he is regularly visited by the souls of the innocents he extinguished.
As for James Lawrence Pouillan, I wish him an eternity in the company of the souls he saved and tried to save.
