I was just reading an article in the New York Times called "Abortion
Protester Is Killed in Michigan"

How tragic! Another needless death occurs as a result of the abortion
debate. The fact that this man -- Harlan James Drake -- would kill a
63-year-old man who wears leg braces and uses an oxygen tank, stuns me. With
the recent murder of "baby killer" Dr. George R. Tiller, it is hard not to
consider that this new killing may have been a revenge killing for Dr.
Tiller's death.

But notice how shrewd the pro-abortion camp is being. They are trying to
distance themselves from Mr. Pouillon's murder by claiming that the killer
-- Drake -- may not have been motivated by the abortion issue. Time will
tell what the true facts are in this case. However, the fact that Pouillon
was killed while in the process of protesting against abortion at a local
high school speaks volumes in my view. Personally, I will be surprised if
this isn't the reason why Drake killed him.

One thing is for certain; while the pro-abortionists raged when Dr. Tiller
was murdered by anti-abortionist Scott Roeder, they are now going to be
forced to temper their remarks, since an anti-abortionist has also now been
killed. If it turns out that Drake did kill Pouillon because he was an
anti-abortionist, even more so, the pro-abortionists will be forced to shut
up regarding the Tiller murder.

As I point out in my series "Abortion: The Slaughter Of The
Innocent", it is
a tragedy that millions of unborn children are murdered every single year.
It is a double tragedy that pro-abortionists and anti-abortionists have now
resorted to killing each other.

Below is the full article from the New York Times.


Abortion Protester Is Killed in Michigan

By EMMA GRAVES FITZSIMMONS - NYT

September 11, 2009

A man who had long opposed abortion and was known nationally among
anti-abortion protesters was shot to death Friday morning while staging a
protest outside a Michigan high school, the authorities said.

Leaders of anti-abortion groups said they knew of no other instance in which
a person protesting against abortion had been killed. In May, Dr. George R.
Tiller, an abortion provider in Kansas, was shot to death in a crime that
renewed debate over the use of violence in the abortion battle.

The protester, identified as James Pouillon, 63, was one of two people, the
authorities said, who were shot dead Friday by the same man in Owosso, a
city of fewer than 15,000 people about 10 miles west of Flint, Mich. The
other victim, a local businessman, was not connected to the anti-abortion
movement, the authorities said.

A suspect was arrested and charged in both killings.

Troy Newman, the president of the national anti-abortion group Operation
Rescue, which had condemned Dr. Tiller's death, said he was saddened by the
death Mr. Pouillon, whom he had known for more than 15 years.

"There is very little, if any, common ground between pro-abortion and
pro-life people," Mr. Newman said. "One thing we had in common after Dr.
Tiller's death, there was a unilateral cry against violence.

A spokeswoman for the Center for Reproductive Rights, Laura MacCleery, said
her group, which supports a woman's right to abortion, was stunned by the
"senseless killings." But Ms. MacCleery said Friday's shooting did not seem
to her to be tied to the abortion debate since the suspect was also charged
in the killing of the second man, Mike Fuoss, 61, the owner of a local
gravel company, who did not appear to be involved in the abortion issue.

"This is not something any group on either side of this debate would ever
contemplate condoning," Ms. MacCleery said.

Prosecutors said that the suspect had singled out Mr. Pouillon because of
the visible style of his regular protests at the school, but that they were
uncertain whether the broader political message of the protests was at
issue.

"There was some displeasure with how open he was," said Sara Edwards, the
chief assistant prosecutor for Shiawassee County. "He tended to carry big
signs with very graphic pictures of fetuses."

According to the police, Mr. Pouillon was protesting just outside the high
school at 7 a.m. as students gathered for the day, when several shots were
fired at him from a passing car. A witness provided the car's license plate
number, and the police arrested the suspect, Harlan James Drake, 33, at his
home in Owosso a short time later.

The police said Mr. Drake told them that he had also been involved in
another shooting, at Fuoss Gravel in nearby Owosso Township. Mr. Fuoss was
found dead in his office about 8 a.m.

Prosecutors said Mr. Fuoss was not involved in abortion protests and had no
link to Mr. Pouillon. Mr. Drake, they said, was angry at him for another
reason. They did not elaborate.

Mr. Drake was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and with
weapons charges and held without bond.

Prosecutors said he had also planned to shoot a third person, whom he
apparently failed to find before he was arrested.

Monica Migliorino Miller, a Michigan anti-abortion leader who knew Mr.
Pouillon, said he wore leg braces and used an oxygen tank and had protested
for years outside of various Planned Parenthood offices and abortion clinics
in Flint.

"He was just a quiet, unassuming, very committed pro-life activist," Ms.
Miller said.

Mr. Pouillon had planned to attend a national protest against abortion at
the United States Capitol this weekend, Mr. Newman said. Now organizers are
planning a vigil in his memory.
