Nothing about this case requires a belief in God.

Kansas law addresses this issue that the Roeder case presents, and you seem to keep glossing over that fact.

"Nothing about this case requires a belief in God."

Keep your straw men out of this. I never said that this case requires a belief in God, just an adherence to US law.

"Kansas law addresses this issue that the Roeder case presents, and you seem to keep glossing over that fact."

You're going to have to show me where Kansas law, to include supporting case law, empowers a citizen to kill a doctor who is practicing medicine in accordance with US law.

It is well settled law that a self-defense defense requires exigent circumstances - IOW, you must prove that your life or the lives of others were in IMMEDIATE jeopardy. Was Tiller murdered at his clinic with his implements of death in his hand? Nope. He was murdered at his church, sitting in a pew far from any patients or babies. Where's the exigency in those circumstances?
