Of course, the fact that this murder of a pro-Life defender occurred on September 11, the anniversary of one of the greatest acts of violence perpetrated against the United States, only magnifies the profound evil of taking innocent human lives. It also reminds us all that a cycle of violence has been unleashed in our age.
In 1994, at a National Prayer Breakfast, in the presence of then President Clinton, that little sign of contradiction and prophetic voice, God rest her soul, Mother Teresa, hit the nail on the head. Speaking at a podium where her small stature could barely be seen over she spoke these words:
"But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion?"

What was he doing in front of a school holding a sign?
I was just reading about this - this was a dialectic used by the nazis to co-ordinate (consolidate) power. Have the brown shirts and storm troopers create disturbances at target events, then have officials from above proscribe the events or associations in the name of public order.
I can here the left commentary on this now. That is, if it's even broadcast at all, by the lame stream media.
Our prayers for James Pullion, his family, and all of the children he prayed for, and tried to save.

My guess is that he was both following his conscience and exercising his right to free speech.
Waiting for this to be classified as a hate crime.
Crickets..................I only hear crickets.
How close is this to where the bomb threats and evacuations are going on in Mich.?
I wonder if the media will be as outraged over this killing as the “hero” partial birth abortion doc (can’t remember the scumbag’s name)
Can’t even bet on that. Our elites don’t want to hear any of this stuff. not even the “conservatives” who live in the Beltway.
Owosso is near Lansing and the bomb threat is Detroit area so its 70 or 80 miles.
Didn’t ya know, Outrage is explicity held in check until you do something...”THEY” don;t agree with .....
Thats why we are all eventually headed to a an Obama re-education camp.
A man was shot dead at a gravel pit in Owosso. It is believed the shooter stole the deceased man’s car and drove to Owosso High School where he then shot and killed Jim Pouillon, a pro-life activist. The Flint Area Right to Life says Pouillon was a quiet man who prayed often in front of schools and local organizations.
“We have two murders,” Shiawassee County Sheriff George Braidwood said, according to the Shiawassee County Argus Press newspaper. “We believe they are related and we have a suspect in custody.”
Not an abortion provider....nothing to see here....move along.
I’m guessing there will NO statement from obama on this at any time.
Uh Huh.
Amen!
OWOSSO, Michigan — An anti-abortion activist gunned down Friday morning in front of Owosso High School has been identified as James Lawrence Pouillon, 63, of Owosso.
Pouillon was a longtime abortion protester, known for his highly vocal and visible public demonstrations around the community and even outside the state.
Longtime friend and fellow activist Judy Climer, president of Flint Right to Life, described Pouillon as “just a nice, elderly gentleman who was disabled, used an oxygen tank and wore leg braces.”
“I knew him very well. He told me one time God put in his heart a passion for the little babies that have the right to be born and they were being denied that right,” said Climer, who said Pouillon often stopped at her office for coffee breaks as he drove from one location to another to demonstrate.
“He even told me once he’d be willing to die for that belief. That’s what I hear him saying right now.”
Climer said Pouillon called her last week and told her he planned to be in Flint later today, parked across the street from the Feminine Health Care Center, 2032 S. Saginaw Street.
“He always comes. He would even go up to Saginaw at 7:30 a.m. and pray, then come here to Flint at noon,” said Climer. “This was a passion he’s had for 20 years, to just pray that abortion would come to an end and that women would see the truth that abortion is murder.”
