PS:

You said you’re “not there yet”. May I ask, “why”? I know that’s probably a difficult question, but I’m just wondering if what prevents most people from Roeder-style justice is that they believe that committing murder is a sin no matter who does it, or is it a fear of going to prison, or something else altogether.

I'm sure the fact that it could be a Sin is probably the primary deterrent why there aren't more Roeder-style vigilantes. As for me I don't know if it's a Sin, after all is it a Sin when our military members kill other human beings on the battlefield? Then there's the fact that you know it's a baby when the likes of Tiller types kill them fully formed but is it really the same serious offense as when they're just zygotes canceled out by contraceptives?

Let's just say for me my personal relationship with God is not deep enough for me to know for sure if a Roeder type sacrifice is right and what God requires of His people for I still have too many as yet unanswered questions about the issue. And as other posters have opined, Tiller's gone but if there are others who step up to take his place then what really was accomplished?

Otoh if there were a a few hundred Roeders at the core of a growing movement all willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and declare war on the Tillers' of the nation, then that might change the dynamics of who would still be willing to become Tiller replacements.
