Vigilante justice doesn't accomplish that. If vigilante justice is OK for Tiller, then it should be OK for a whole host of high profile people. All it does is create martyrs.

I don't know how many times I have to repeat it, but if the motive of Roeder was vengeance or justice, then he should be executed for his crimes. If his motive was his sincere belief that he was preventing another child murder by this monster Tiller, then he would be both morally and legally justified in what he did.

Pro-lifers continually call Abortion "murder" and yet they seem unwilling to admit that underneath that claim, they really DON'T believe that it is. They believe it is something less than murder, otherwise they would all be doing what Roeder did.

If there is no difference between a predator murdering a child on the street and Tiller murdering a child in his abortion clinic, then Roeder should be considered a hero rather than a monster.

If we truly believe that Abortion is Murder, and that Roeder was not seeking justice, but attempting to prevent more murders, then what Roeder did was justified.

So let me make sure I understand what you are saying:

If Tiller’s murderer was seeking justice for babies previously killed, you’re saying it wouldn’t be justified.

If Tiller’s murderer was attempting to save babies from being killed by Tiller in the future, it would be justified?

Just trying to make sure I understand what you’re saying before I respond in the AM.
