Scott Roeder was no hero for the pro-life cause, but abortion does indeed drive some people "nuts," and Roeder evidently wasn't able to explain that the tens of thousands of babies that Tiller killed, may have done just that to him. It was grossly unfair that he did not get to state his case in that regard. We just attended a funeral for a family friend that went "a little crazy" because his daughter went against his wishes (decades ago) and ended the life of her child through abortion. The man lost his job, his wife, and his good nature. He spent the remainder of his life in sadness because of the absence of his grandchild. Abortion is ugly. Abortion bears no fruit whatsoever. Abortion comes from the devil.

What kills me(pardon the pun)is that the murder took place in a church.I’m anti-abortion but what he did was wrong,in every sense of the word.Tiller was scum,however,for performing late-term abortions,which is outright murder. I think a doctor would have to be sick and cold-hearted to perform such an abortion.In my mind the mother is no better,since she’s allowing her infant to be murdered.It’s not even up for debate;a partial-birth abortion is murder, plain and simple.

It’s not the approach I would take, but if you saw a man with an ax in a baby nursery, would you kill him to stop him from chopping up babies? I sure would.

So... if the babies were still in thw womb 3 days earlier, what is the differece?

I can see other options- since the ma with an ax is n IMMEDIATE threat but the oborion nurdered is only planning future murders of babies. Block accss to the building, buldoze it down, but don’t kill him.

The only thing about this trial on the other hand is that they asked him why he did it but then would not let him answer.

If he said he did it because the voices from mars told him to then that would be acceptable- but the prosecuton objected to any statements about abortion procedures

This man saved baby lives, but shold not have done it this way.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Admittedly I haven't looked at all the threads, but just by following this casually on Free Republic, I haven't seen anyone call this guy "pro-life" or "some kind of a hero."

Want to name names? I'll reproach them for it personally.

[Friendofgeorge]

People can say whatever they like, but one fact remains! Dr Tiller will never perform another abortion, this is a fact that can not be disputed by anybody.

[factmart]

In God’s eyes this Doctor is a murderer.

Scott has saved lives and has more guts then me.

Will see him in Heaven.

“He was ‘pro-life’”

I’m rabidly anti-abortion, but I fought in a war and would not hesitate to pull the switch on a murderer. So you might call me “pro-innocent life”

I suspect most pro-life folks are more like me and less like you....

[Blood of Tyrants]

I don’t see him as a hero, but he did what his conscience told him. If he believed that the doctor was committing murder on a scale that would make any serial murderer in history look like a piker, then he simply acted on his beliefs. Except for the votes of one or two unelected, unaccountable justices of the Supreme Court, the abortion doctor WOULD be a murderer.

"some nuts here that see this guy as a hero"

what possible reason could they have for thinking that?

Perhaps they know that babies are people, regardless of whether the umbilical cord is cut, or the entire body is outside the vagina? Wow so crazy huh?
