Comments on: Man Who Killed Abortion Doctor Is Convicted – Some Observations

By: Plain Punditry » Harry Reid: Killing of Late-Term Abortion Doctor an “Act of Terrorism”

[...] As I have written before, Scott Roeder never should have been in the position to make the decision to stop George Tiller. As I said in previous comments, I’m not going to try to justify Roeder’s decision. But I do take issue with Reid’s assessment of his actions. This was not an “act of terrorism.” It was the just punishment Tiller was due for his crimes. The sad part is that the civil authorities had the duty to bring this man to justice and they refused to do so. Rather than being “an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil” (Romans 13:4), we have many in office like Reid who will label this event as a “tragedy” and continue to allow the ongoing practice of abortion.

Steve, absolutely right about a fetus being a baby and not just a mass of tissue. But I would change the wording on your last statement. Roeder did what the State should have done.

Great article Andy. Your mentioning of the government supporting abortion made me remember Mr. Obama’s campaign speech in Johnstown, Pennsylvania where he said that if one of his daughters made a mistake (i.e. pre-marital sex), he wouldn’t want them to be punished with a baby. In other words, he would pay to have his own grandchild murdered.

To be clear, I’m not trying to justify Roeder here. But my point is this: It is the government’s job to punish, even execute, murderers like George Tiller. Sadly, the government is not only negligent in this responsibility, but just the opposite – they support abortion. As long as the government refuses to punish those who exterminate the unborn, then from time to time there will be people like Roeder who decide to go outside the law and act for themselves in the defense of these children. This was not the first time something like this has happened.

1 or 4,000 murder is murder. Unless he repents he’s just as guilty and just as condemnable as the abortion doctor.

Excellent article, Andy. Abortion takes the life of an innocent child. One who might grow up to be a Tim Tebow, or a future leader of this country. I wonder if the finder of the cure for cancer, or aids or some other dreaded disease has been aborted. That baby’s “crime”? It was an inconvenience to the mother.

Can’t condone what Roeder did, but the points you made about Tiller are certainly sound. How can people deny that he was a murder far more than many times over what Roeder did? Sad commentary on our society.
