Jill Stanek: Pro-life martyr Jim Pouillon
WorldNetDaily ^ | 9/16/09 | Jill Stanek

For 36 years, pro-aborts have engaged in a risky public-relations campaign to detract from their mounting preborn baby body count.

It is pro-lifers, not pro-aborts, who are violent, they have said. While collectively and openly advancing the abortions of over 50 million children, they have held up as evidence six unbalanced people calling themselves pro-life, but repudiated by the pro-life community, who have aborted eight abortion workers.

Totally illogical, but nevertheless, with liberal media and political support, the accusation has stuck.

Not that I've ever minded. Having such a reputation has brought me closer than anything else to knowing how Hell's Angels must feel when walking into a bar, which is kind of cool, even as I laugh at the absurdity of pro-lifers metaphorically dressed in biker leather.

But with the murder of pro-lifer Jim Pouillon on Sept. 11, that particular debate between pro-lifers and pro-aborts changed. Their post-born killing slate is no longer clean. It was only a matter of time.

I hesitate to discuss Jim's death in purely pragmatic terms. If I were to be killed for my pro-life convictions, I'm sure it would hurt my family to read the ridiculous and cruel comments by pro-aborts as we argued about me on the Internet as if I were just a debate topic, not a real person.

Then again, maybe not. My family knows I wear slurs as a badge of honor. I get a kick out of most of them, actually. I hope Jim's family sees it that way – more jewels in a dazzling crown as he assumes a place of prominence in heaven with the other martyrs.

Jim was 63. He retired from General Motors 20 years ago but had worked full-time since for the pro-life cause. To do that he needed a portable oxygen tank and leg braces. Jim was a helpless man.

In many ways Jim epitomized the sort of person the other side likes to pick off.

Rest in peace, dear Jim Pouillon.

Amen!

I participated in a Truth Tour today (holding a very large graphic sign of an aborted child) along with some 40 other people. It was a mighty tough display to look at. The first man I came upon let out a huge F*CK YOU, but for the most part, everyone else was either supportive or tame. R.I.P. Jim Pouillon!
