10-041-MRC
CHICAGO (ELCA) -- A Kansas jury convicted Scott Roeder of first-degree murder Jan. 29. Roeder gunned down Dr. George Tiller, a member of Reformation Lutheran Church, Wichita, Kan., in the church foyer before Sunday service May 31. Tiller was one of a few physicians in the United States who performed late-term abortions and was often targeted by anti-abortion protests. Reformation is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
According to CNN Roeder testified that he shot Tiller to protect unborn children. He said he had no regrets in killing Tiller.
Members of Reformation testified that they had seen Roeder at church several times before the day he shot Tiller at point-blank range in the head.
Roeder, 51, Kansas City, Mo., faces life in prison.

Roeder stated during his testimony, that at last, he felt that no one with power would force Tiller to obey the law, therefore, he had no choice that in order to save the life of the innocents, he was finally forced to act.
I’m with you. Yes, I’m saved. Junior year of HS.
The Bible says give unto Ceaser that which is Ceaser’s and give to GOD that which is GOD’s.
Babies are GOD’S!
If we had 20 thousands of Scott’s, Doctors would not do the killing of Babies any more.
Like I said on the other thread... No matter what you feel about this verdict, and I am sure it will be debated for years to come... one Fact IS final:
George Tiller will never again cut open another child’s head and suck its brains out for profit.
Scott is a believer, and he saved lives, Killing babies is murder. Killing the murderer is justified. He has more guts than me but if tomorrow I only had 2 weeks to live, killing a “tiller” might make me braver. God even forgives murder in tiller case. According to the British during the revolutionary war we were murderers. Scott was even more justified because of babies innocence.
Me thinks Roeder will be forgiven quicker by God than Tiller... doesn’t Tiller fit the profile of a serial killer?
Does your Bible say "Do not murder except"?
Mine don't. Scott is a murder and no telling how many he has cause not to be saved because his and some church members
(I didn't call them Christians because they are not Christians)
have and are acting so stupid about this. Scot is a murderer no doubt about it.
I agree. Roeder stopped a serial-killing sociopath who butchered babies for money. Roeder did what we as a society should have done a long time ago: put Tiller out of business.
That was the most poorly written post I've ever read on here. "Mine don't." I can't even tell what you are trying to say. I'm going stick with my own interpretation of Thou Shalt Not do Murder. Is shooting a madman who is getting ready to kill hundreds of babies murder? I don't think so.
I will look at ROEDER as one of the inglorious basterds.
Murder is murder no matter how you try justify it. You say bad things about me (It fits right in with you saying its alright to murder some people, have fun)I don’t care I just consider the source.
What made Tiller more of a murderer than a pharmacist that dispenses abortion pills?
Perhaps Bonhoeffer is a (non-Orthodox) passion-bearer:

And - spit on them - they do it for money.

God had many people put to death in the Bible.
Told Israel to Kill thousands. Killing babies is wrong, putting a stop to it righteous.
In 1998, a bomb rocked an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Ala., killing security guard Robert Sanderson and critically injuring nurse Emily Lyons. (The bomber, Eric Rudolph, was captured in May 2003 and is serving a life sentence.)

No one should work for a place that kills Babies.
