OFFENSIVE PRO-LIFE SIGN
On September 11, 2009, Jim Pouillon, 63, was shot and killed outside a high school in Owosso, MI, as he was holding the above sign. It is said that the reverse showed picture of an aborted baby.
Jim’s prolife activity dates back to Atlanta in 1988, as does mine. I never met him personally but hear that he was like most prolifers that I know — peaceful, prayerful, persevering. I understand well that our very presence — whether we carry a sign or a rosary — angers those who favor a right to abortion. They honk, they shout, they give us the finger. Occasionally they attack.
Jim was shot 10 times, point blank, in the chest and abdomen. He was a disabled man who had, that very morning, dropped his own granddaughter off at the high school where he was killed.
Bloodshed needs to stop both inside and outside of abortion “clinics.” We have to remember that people who are pro-abortion, by definition, believe in killing as a solution.
WILX reported:
33-year-old Harlan James Drake is charged with four counts; first-degree premeditated murder against James Pouillon– a known anti-abortion activist of Owosso, first-degree premeditated murder against Mike Fuoss, an Owosso business owner, felony firearm and carrying a weapon with unlawful intent.
Police say when they apprehended Drake, he told them he was planning to kill a third person, James Howe, a realtor from Owosso.
Drake has no prior records and will be back in court for a preliminary hearing on September 25th. He remains in custody with no bond.
The battle between the culture of life and the culture of death has been going on since the beginning of time and will continue to the last day. Mr. Pouillon carried a beautiful sign, with truth on both sides. Would that there were similar signs in front of every abortuary in the country. We cannot shrink back now.
Please, someone, will you let me know where we can purchase some?

I know we are going crazy protesting against Abortions; however, have we lost the reason why abortions are being considered???? It’s called “Relations” and most of these are out of marriage…this is what we need to be discussing in order to stop putting the band aid on abortions…then we will see less of them taking place…Please, let’s talk more about Abstinence…

Sure, talk about abstinence. Abstinence is a wonderful thing and avoids a multitude of problems. By all means, go ahead and talk about the many reasons for abstinence. You have my permission.

Don’t forget that the pro-gravel pit and pro-realtor communities have been waging their own battles since the beginning of time. Or perhaps these murders (and another intent to murder) have very little to do with any pro-whatever movement, and more to do with an unstable person who didn’t like some other people.

It’s hard to know exactly where the killer was coming from. However, violence against pro-lifers is frequent and well-documented. See

Agreed, it’s impossible to know his motivations without him telling them (and even then you may not be able to trust him). I’ve just seen a number of people trying to use this as proof that pro-choicers are out to get pro-lifers. It’s a spin game (that both sides play) and it is unacceptable.
