WICHITA, Kan. — A man who said he killed prominent Kansas abortion provider Dr. George Tiller in order to save the lives of unborn children was convicted Friday of murder.
The jury deliberated for just 37 minutes before finding Scott Roeder, 51, of Kansas City, Mo., guilty of premeditated, first-degree murder in the May 31 shooting death.

Hillarious. He didn’t just wander into that “church”, and he saw himself committing no sins that he felt he needed to atone for, and apparently neither did his fellow “parishioners.” I wonder who is worshipped in that church, probably the same creature worshipped in Zero’s/Jerry Wright’s “church”, too, the one with horns.
...who was murdering defenseless, fully-formed, healthy infants in cold blood, which is a crime worthy of the death penalty in the Bible.
The world is much better place with George Tiller no longer residing in it.
But “murder” means an unjustifiable killing of a human.
Obviously no one that calls themself ‘prolife’ is going to post that this guy was the term ‘pro-life’ because they know how silly it sounds.
Not a good idea to posts lists. I saw a freeper zotted.
What an excellent and apt description of what infested that fake Holy House of Worship.
If you say so. But buying in to the pro-infanticide movement's language is part of the problem.
The left sidestepped the revulsion that normal people feel by not calling the unborn child an unborn child. Instead they started using the Latin term which makes it sound like any other medical procedure.
But calling it something different doesn't make it something different.
It's a child. You can call it a fetus or a nino or akachan or kind but it doesn't change what it is.
If I were to come across a doctor in the process of killing a living infant post-partum I would kill that doctor to save that infant. If that resulted in my being imprisoned for murder, so be it. There are cases where the law and moral duty are mutually exclusive. With respect to murder of an abortionist for committing pre-partum abortion, well, while I really hate what abortionists do for a living, I believe the problem cannot be solved by taking the abortionists life. Abortions will not be stopped in this way. As in the case of Dr. Tiller, someone else will step in and take his place. No significant difference was made through killing Tiller. This problem needs to be addressed through the law and through educating our population (both women and men) regarding taking responsibility for one’s actions and behaviors rather than taking the easy way out. Anyway, that’s my 2 cents.
And if he was willing to give his life, why did he plead Not Guilty?
I'm not Roeder so I don't know what he had in mind, maybe there were others he still wanted to take out before he got caught or killed, as for the not guilty verdict that's an easy one, he obviously felt like he was defending lives from being destroyed so in that's sense it would be justifiable homicide and not cold-blooded murder as charged.
LOL! How ironic.
It’s been suggested on this thread that Roeder shouldn’t have fled the scene of the execution but rather should have turned himself into a police station if he believed that his acts were justifiable.
Not sure that holds water.
For example, should Heydrich’s assassins have surrendered to the local Gestapo office and confessed rather than fleeing and hiding?
I don’t know what Roeder’s judgment is going to be before Almighty God, but I’m willing to wager it is far less devastating that Tiller’s.
I’m betting there’s a lot of little babies alive today that wouldn’t have been without Roeder’s action. I don’t know how to verify that, but perhaps we can look to see how Carhart’s business did or didn’t increase following Tiller’s “going out of business”.
Get real. He admitted his guilt on the stand.
If you believe that, then if you ask me, you are a whacko.
How about an executioner that flips the switch that kills a man strapped down to a table?
Yeah, you’re right.
It’s “whacky” to believe that a mass abortionist occupied a higher moral ground than his executioner.
The law has simply failed to protect human life here.
Would you have a right to kill hitler in the 1930’s, given a chance?
Or would it be wrong, because it was illegal?
Did I read that after the murder, Roeder stopped for pizza? Nothing like a slice of pepperoni after putting cold steel to a man’s head and pulling the trigger, I guess. Must work up quite an appetite splattering someone’s brains in a pew.
You must hate that silly constitution that proscribes ex post facto punishment.
50 miilion or so of our citizens have been murdered, last time I looked that could be considered genocide. Is it whacko because ONE man could no longer sit idly buy without doing something to try to stop it?
