Excellent post. Thanks.
The fact of the matter is that anyone who has expressed that opinion must deal with the fact that rhetoric like that is what fueled the fire in Roeder to take out the worst Abortionist "Murderer" who ever lived on this planet.
Now if Abortion is NOT murder, then what Roeder did was reprehensible and he deserves to die by lethal injection as quickly as justice will allow.
On the other hand, if ABORTION IS MURDER, as I believe that everyone who has posted on this thread has said at one point or another, then Roeder deserves to be acquitted of murder.
I recognize that on many occasions on this forum I have expressed the sentiment that Abortion is Murder. If guys like Roeder have taken me seriously enough to take the ultimate step in stopping a murderer in his tracks, then I guess I will have to live with the fact that I contributed to the fuel that burned the fire in Roeder's mind.
I have to ask those who so roundly condemn what Roeder did whether or not they TRULY believe that ABORTION IS MURDER? Well do you? Do you really?
If you have expressed that sentiment either to your friends, or on this forum or on a bumper sticker, are you willing to accept a portion of the blame for creating a guy like Roeder, who actually took your words to heart to such an extent that he was willing to sacrifice his own liberty to put a stop to it?
Pulling the fate of Roeder into the picture is not very helpful. If his act was willful and knowing, he should die. If it was the deranged fit of a nut, he should be in a nut house the rest of his life. Either way, we don’t condone Roeder having squeezed that trigger. But we also don’t mourn Tiller, except perhaps that he didn’t repent.
As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever voiced my beliefs on the subject.
Personally I have not done much to help save the unborn other than donating to pro-life politicians. I have deep respect for those who have done much more. It doesn't change the facts about Tiller's murder. A new killer will replace Tiller.
Excellent post. Thanks.
