I think you might have missed the point of my post.

Since you missed it, I’ll explain it.

Evil people always make excuses for their actions.

Some of what Tiller did could certainly be excused or even approved by reasonable people (like performing abortions on late-term babies who had developed without brains, thereby making it so that they never had a chance for life).

But much of what he did, in my opinion at least, could not be excused by ANY reasonable, thinking person. Apparently around 95% of his abortions were of otherwise healthy, viable “fetuses,” and apparently (if I have understood correctly) several hundred a year of these were so late-term as to be able to live outside of the womb.

Tiller charged around $7,000 an abortion, and made probably a couple million dollars a year off of sucking babies out of their mothers’ wombs. I do not consider him to have been “noble.” I consider him to have been essentially a mass-murderer for hire. I’ve no doubt he came up with “perfectly good” reasons to justify his actions to himself and others. A lot of people even believe his reasons. I don’t.

I don’t particularly have a comment on Roeder’s actions in killing Dr. Tiller. Obviously, what he did was highly illegal. Whether or not it was justified, in a world where the law actively condones what Tiller did for a living, I’ll leave it to others to debate. I guess my point is, I don’t consider Tiller, in the final analysis, to have been anything other than human scum, so I won’t be shedding any tears or attending any memorial services to mourn the passing of an evil man who helped out at church every Sunday.
