Murder is a strong word, with moral implications as well as legal.
Tiller committed murder, 60,000 times.
While the person who shot Tiller did break the law, and should be prosecuted, I am not sure that it was murder.
Killing is not always murder.
Yeah, it was murder. Shooting an unarmed and unsuspecting elderly man is murder.
We have the rule of law in this country, and you cannot go murdering people doing legal things and with no trail and no sentencing.
“I am not sure that it was murder.”
I’m sure under the law it was murder. However this is the same “law” that makes butchering babies legal.
IMHO, we have abortion because some races of babies have monetary value. Sad, but nobody (almost) wants babies of color or disabled babies, while people line up for healthy white babies at $40K a pop.
Is REX LEX? Is the law king?
Ever since laws have been considered only man made they can
be changed. Killing a nearly born is not considered murder
in one epoch, but is in another.
Are there absolute rights and wrongs? Who was the last
guy who said “what is truth?”
We need some absolute truths, besides “party hardy”, or
“ you only live once, so go for the gusto” or “I felt like
it”. Otherwise anarchy, social, political and personal could
be our last reported location.
