It is clear cut. Are we a nation of laws or not? Do we really want to go down that road. What other laws can then be violated?
I know it’s difficult to answer. But I’ll answer where you failed to. I would have to prevent Tiller from killing the baby in that case and suffer the consequences.
Sorry, what's the cutoff between saving one innocent's life vs. another's, when you are present and able to do so?
Where's that popcorn-eating smiley?
obviously, in the case of Tiller,
if you have a governor and the AG in your pocket,
you can violate a lot of laws, and he did.
Not sure I agree that the issue is so clear cut. A man steps out of a car and shoots at children on a playground. You are driving by. Do you swerve your car across traffic (law #1 broken), drive over top of the guy (law #2 broken) because you “think” he was shooting at the children (but didn’t see any of them fall, yet), then back up over top of him to make sure he doesn’t get up (illegal parking, law #3 broken)?
Where is the “due process” and the all that habeas corpus stuff? What would you do? This fellow saw a cold-blooded abortionist murdering children. The man paraded it in public. Real viable children. Are you so sure that you would not break laws under certain circumstances? It feels like I might under certain circumstances and I’m not sure this Kansas guy is so evil.
Let us be clear we USED to be a nation of laws, not we are a nation who selects which laws are to be obeyed.
Other laws are openly violated all of the time, which is why we have to get back to obeying ALL laws.
Look at illegal immigration. It is against the law for people to be here illegally or work here illegally yet nothing is done. The laws regarding illegaly immigration mean nothing. It is openly encouraged and those who try to get the laws enacted are berated.
So don’t now try to use that argument.

“It is clear cut. Are we a nation of laws or not?”
Thank you, I totally agree with you & Sarah.
