I hope the weather is nice when Roeder gets his first look at the parole board on April 1, 2060.

I don’t think it’s right to take a life. I do however have trouble feeling sorry for Tiller. I don’t think the man that killed him should get 50 years. That’s what I heard today they were trying for. Can you imagine if Tiller had to serve 50 years for every person he killed?

Hey Judge, as much as I disagree with murder, there is no soapbox for people who believe that abortion, especially late term abortion, is murdering children.

“Give me liberty to defend the unborn or give me death,” Roeder said.

When our own government didn't protect the unborn, this man was brave enough to put an end to Tiller's WRONG.

Sorry, it's what I truly believe.

If the guy was reading, I would have directed him to submit the document for the record.

Two wrongs do not make a right, but there is no doubt his action saved innocent lives.

It is not a soapbox for your political views.

No, the government makes that particular accommodation for muslim terrorists only.

I am against cold-blooded murder whether it’s an infant or an adult. I think this is reasonably consistent. I ask liberals why they are against one but not the other.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

As far as I am concerned,Roeder got rid of the current Dr.Mengele.I wonder what the number is now for all the children saved?

Roeder made his decision to shoot Tiller, the Judge made his decision on sentencing. God will have the final Say on who was, and who wasn’t in the right.

And I kindly direct everyone to my tagline.

The Judge interrupted the convicted man and said, "It is your opportunity to convince me you need a lesser sentence. It is not a soapbox for your political views."

I have two (2) questions;

What is the AVERAGE sentence for a first time offender convicted of first degree murder in Kansas ?

Why is someone given a greater sentence for making a political statement with which the Judge does not agree ? Conversely, is the Judge given the sentencing latitude to give Scott Roeder a lesser sentence, if Scott Roeder had made a political statement with which the Judge agreed or approved ?

[Jerry Attrick]

Murder is murder. However, killing someone that is trying to kill another human being is,IMHO, defensible. No-one would think twice about someone who took out a person trying to choke a child to death (for instance).

Problem with our society is, the definition of “human being” is all screwed up.

[Lurker]

I am personally opposed so shooting people who make their living by murdering unborn children.

But, I also don’t feel it’s right to impose my morality on others.

If you believe late term abortion is murder, you can't be critical of the actions taken by Scott Roeder. You can't be critical any more than you can be critical of John Brown and his passionate desire to snuff out the scourge of slavery. Some day the grandchildren of our grandchildren will look back at us and wonder how we could allow unborn children to be discarded like trash. If slavery was America's original sin, what is abortion?
