So if the abortionist habitually killed babies post-partum insted of pre-partum, killing the killer would still be murder?
Yes, sadly it would, because we have an imperfect justice system. God will judge Roeder.
Tiller would have been retired, or sitting safely in a minimum security prison, if the politicians and prosecutors had not been crooked.
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.
