I don't know how you can say the taking of any human life is murder. If you run a red light and kill someone accidentally is it murder? If someone breaks in to your house an you kill him is it murder? In the first instance it's a horrible accident not murder. In the second it's self defence.

And the doctor killed was in Paul Hill's house? Fry the scumbag. Help him get his 72 virgin reward.

"I donj't know how you can say the taking of any human life is murder."

After much research I have determined that the original Hebrew text of the Bible says "Thou shalt not murder", as opposed to "Thou shalt not kill"

The difference may seem semantical, but there is wrongfull murder, with intent and malice, murder in the commission of warfare, accidental murder, and the intentional, and justified murder to protect another life.

We can all agree that Hill murdered another human, the only question is whether or not that murder was justified. To answer this question truthfully, puts most all of us in an uncomfortable position because there really is no middle ground.

If you believe that life begins at conception and I don't see how anyone could objectively say otherwise, then Hill's actions, were morally justified. Notice I didn't say legally justified. The fact that the state sanctions the murder of innocents under the color of law has little to do with this. Only if you believe that the state is infallible, do you have a case to vilify and execute Hill for stopping the wholesale slaughter of innocent children.

Another poster has rightfully chastized the rest of us who believe that this is allowed to occur due to our inaction and he rightfully points out that we will be held accountable before God for it. To take such action, in the face of his own execution for it takes a kind of courage that most of us will never have. And more's the pity.
