The last definition? Not really. Not even close. Coolly and methodically invading the sanctity and safety of the womb with caustic chemicals, sharp instruments, and suction to vivisect and suck out out burned or bloody pieces the most innocent and helpless certainly ranks lower on the scale of heroes and decent human beings. And to do it tens of thousands of times? Sorry. I have no sympathy or tears for Dr. Tiller. I can't understand how you can hold such a vile monster's murderer in greater moral contempt.
I am unaware of anyone on these boards who has held Tiller up as a hero. Clearly, some have held up his cold-blooded murderer as such. That is wrong and unworthy of anyone attempting to lay claim to morality.
