Dr. James M. Pouillon, a Grand Rapids podiatrist who had not spoken to his father since 2001, criticized him and the attention he’s getting in a post on a story about Harlan Drake, the man accused of killing Pouillon’s father, James L. Pouillon, on Sept. 11.
The whole nation is debating if Pouillon was a martyr. Here is what the younger Pouillon had to say in an mlive.com post on mlive.com on Sept. 13:
“It will be impossible for some to believe, but my dad really didn’t care about aborton.
He did this to stalk, harass, terrorize, scream at, threaten, frighten, and verbally abuse women. He had a pathologic hatred of women: his mom, my mom, everyone.
After my mom finally left him and he lost his favorite punching bag the violence and abuse that was always contained within our 4 walls was unleased on the people of Owosso.
My dad used the pro-life movement and 1st Amendments foundations to defend him, support him, and enable him. He fooled them all.
He was at the high shool because my niece was there, and female family members were always his favorite targets.
Again, my dad didn’t care about abortion. He wanted to hurt people, upset people. He enjoyed making people suffer.
His goal was to be shot on a sidewalk. His goal was to make someone so angry, to make them feel so terrorized, to make them feel the only way they could make him stop was to kill him.
His pro-life stance was the most perfect crime I personally know of. He hid behind the 1st Amendment and was allowed to stalk, terrorise, harass, be obsene, ect. These things are crimes. Offending people isn’t a crime, and having different political views isn’t a crime, but he committed several crimes over the last 20 years and got away with it.
Yes I really am his oldest son. Owosso is now rid of a mad man.”
Well, shit. How about that?
So he wasn’t a crazy pro-lifer? He was just crazy?
Behold, the future of Alphie.
Violent people always seek out a way to justify their violent tendencies, thanks to this we have police, marines, and lot’s of violence in the media. Our violent tendencies are caused by the remains of a survival instinct usually combined with hormonal imbalances. I wonder if we’ll ever evolve past it.
Let’s face it: This explains the pro-life movement in general.
These are people who:
A) Say they care about innocent life lost, and
B) Don’t spend one minute protesting the tens of thousands of innocent women and children murdered in Iraq by Bush’s invasion.
The only way to account for such jaw-dropping hypocrisy is to remember that they want to outlaw abortion because they want to punish women for having non-procreative sex.
No other explanation accounts for the facts.
#5: “….they want to punish women for having non-procreative sex.”
Shouldn’t it be, “….they want to punish women for having non-procreative sex with them.”
“The whole nation is debating if Pouillon was a martyr.”
Um, I’m not.
The facts won’t matter to those would would exploit this sensible death.
The abortion anti-tales…
http://mypage.direct.ca/w/writer/anti-tales.html
“In 1990, in the Boston area, Operation Rescue and other groups were regularly blockading the clinics, and many of us went every Saturday morning for months to help women and staff get in. As a result, we knew many of the ‘antis’ by face. One morning, a woman who had been a regular ‘sidewalk counselor’ went into the clinic with a young woman who looked like she was 16-17, and obviously her daughter. When the mother came out about an hour later, I had to go up and ask her if her daughter’s situation had caused her to change her mind. ‘I don’t expect you to understand my daughter’s situation!’ she angrily replied. The following Saturday, she was back, pleading with women entering the clinic not to ‘murder their babies.'”
#9, FTW.
When it hits close to home, it’s a whole different story.
I really wish that the pro-choice and pro-life people would go away. They steer the debate away from important issues like reducing taxes, shrinking the size and scope of government, and setting up an environment where individuals are free to earn money.
American Taliban!
Let’s face it: This explains the pro-life movement in general.
Both sides of this argument are wacko’s. The folks on the opposite side want you to be Pro Choice as long your choice agrees with their choice.
#9 I was an escort at an abortion clinic in the 80s myself, and though I never saw any personally, other escorts had plenty of tales of protesters bringing their teenage girls in for abortions. It happens.
14 Phydeau,
You did a great service for womens health. I applaud you.
13. “The folks on the opposite side want you to be Pro Choice as long your choice agrees with their choice.”
That’s complete BS. People who are pro-choice don’t protest outside maternity wards screaming at women who choose to have babies. Pro choicers are not pro-abortion. Most hate the idea of abortion. I know I do. But we support the right to make the choice either way.
Anti-abortionists are necessarily one sided. You have no choice, you cannot have an abortion.
Pro-choicers are necessarily two sided. You can have your baby or have an abortion, it’s your choice.

I too have heard about how many of people (read: terrorists and enemy combatants) that have been killed by Bush & Company. The irony is that most of these complaints come from the party that promotes the murder of children as a “privacy right.”
Oh he was a crazy anti abortion protester. Ok blast away.
I am reposting my comment from last week… sounds like a familiar, almost predictable pattern.)
===============
We have a nutjob in our town just like the one that was shot, by the name of Ross Foti. He has one of those trucks that are used to carry large pieces of glass, but instead of glass panes, he has several 8×5 foot posters of aborted fetuses displayed. That and a bunch of bible quotes.
His favorite place to park his truck to spread his message? Across from elementary and middle schools. You would think that he would choose abortion clinics… nooooo… he parks where he can traumatize little kids.
The images are graphic, very very graphic. And in the name of free speech and the first amendment he delights in having small children horrified by them.
Parents can’t stop him, so they end up standing in front of the truck with long poles with sheets between them to cover the gruesome posters. Christian parents. Catholic parents. You know it is bad when a Catholic priest performs a citizens arrest after he parked on church school grounds, was warned, and then did it again.
The guy that was shot yesterday was in front of a school with his gruesome photos… it was just another sicko that enjoyed scaring little children, and maybe God himself got tired of that bullshit and sent someone to take care of it.
#11 Ben…
A little obsessive, no?
The state of the R party today is probably defined by the experience of the anti-abortion movement. Same people, same tactics. Same intolerance of facts and others’ opinions.
And a safe place where they can rant unabated about any nutball topic they care to rant about. Welcome to the world of popularized nutball rants. Thanks to our sponsor, Fox News.
#5 I concur. Well said. #13 You’re wrong. Being pro-choice means supporting a women’s right to choose what she does with her body regardless of whether one agrees with that choice or not.
Guy sounds like my dad.
Glad he went in 85. Saved the world from more hell.

Sounds like they had a bad father son relationship.
I do belive that the slain anti-abortion protester did believe in the cause.
“You know” when you dedicate your life to any given single issue and you go out of your way trying to force your opinion/position on other people, you are a bit nuts.
Thats why I won’t go out on the streets and protest anything with my friends who are dedicated to “whatever.” They even get upset with me when I ask: “Do you think you capture the entire debate with that slogan?”
To marylamb and others who want to pretend this misanthrope, and many of the other protesters, are not just this warped, who else would do such things? We should all accept the “truth” and here just recognize the cause is totalitarian in nature and that you don’t understand what personal freedom really means at all.
You don’t DESERVE to live in a free country.

There’s that terrible word again… Believe.
#29–Alfred==Link?
#31–Thanks Alfie. The Daughter’s Statement is not inconsistent with the Son’s Statement.
The Holy Ghost made him shove his wife into a piano?
This guy is suitable icon material?

You’re use of periods…in your conversation…is most interesting. Are you abridging…your own words or cutting…and pasting from another source?
no one likes abortions, but I’ve yet to see an anti-DUI protester holding disgusting pictures of decapitated motorists, or anti-war protesters holding pics of body parts scattered all over Baghdad’s streets.
