If killing a bad dude creates "martyrs for the cause" then there ought to be a hundred abortionists leaping up to take Tiller's place.

So far Carhart, who does the same thing, is the only one who's said he's interested in that sort of thing.

Could be that super late term abortionists are viewed pretty much the same as the crazy guys who hammer down their testicles and penis with hammers.

First, I wasn't strictly talking about abortionists in general, I was also including the impact of vigilante justice on those who enable them to do what they do.

Second, I would say that he is being elevated to martyr status. Look at how the left wingers have been exalting his name, calling him a brave man and a hero. 10 years from now, if the Lord tarries, they will point to this as just another example of how Christians are really terrorists at heart and that the religion should be suppressed. (Just as they have done in the past for certain nutjobs who have killed abortionists and bombed abortuaries)

Third, a willingness to be a martyr is a characteristic of people with strong moral grounding; a characteristic that is basically antithetical to one who would be an abortionist.

Please note that genuine martyrdom is a willingness to die for one's beliefs.

This is in direct opposition to the "martyrdom" jive going on with muzzie suicide bombers. They're not martyrs, they're just brainwashed members of a death cult
