When infant killer George Tiller was gunned down on May 31, pro- and anti-abortion groups condemned the murder. Planned Parenthood issued a statement. The President of the United States issued a statement. The U.S. Attorney General issued a statement. Within hours. On a Sunday.
Contrast this with the murder of the pro-life Jim Pouillon, gunned down last Friday in front of a school.
As of September 15, 8:39 a.m., four days after the fact, Planned Parenthood has not issued a statement. The abortion mill’s still torn up over the death of Ted Kennedy.
Two days after the fact, Obama had something to say about the murder (see LifeNews), but there’s no official White House statement, as was the case with George Tiller.
You can bet your life the Attorney General’s office won’t release a statement. It still hasn’t condemned the murder and injury of military recruiters on duty, which happened shortly after Tiller’s death.
The stunning lack of media coverage of Jim Pouillon’s murder, given the blanket coverage of Tiller’s, is, well, stunning. Then again, the “pro-choice” think Tiller was a brave and courageous hero, what with helping those women out with getting rid of unwanted infants, and all. Pro-lifers like Pouillon are just right-wing, fundamentalist kooks, what with trying to protect unborn life, and all.
I think my point is made. Is further editorializing really necessary? If so, see A Tale of Two Murders.
