How is murder justification for anything?!?!?

Please tell me no Christians are advocating Tiller's death... I am a Christian and I sincerely hope no one claiming to follow Christ, would ever condone a murder of ANY kind...

Update:

Chris T: you are a pathetic, sad, little man. No one is threatning my family, he doesn't sneak into people's homes and secretly committ abortions. What an absurd and scary post, you are the problem with the world, you just are choosing which murder to justify and you are no Christian.

Update 2:

Attention: how frightening that you think that way. Don't pervert the work of Pro Lifers and try to justify murder, it's pathetic.

Update 3:

thorberry: Don't generalize about a group that way. I'm probably what you would label the "religious right" and no one I know thinks that way.

Update 4:

Titus: I know what you mean.

Update 5:

Jacob: don't twist the Bible, this isn't war and this killing was most definitely... murder. What about the women that chose to go to the doctor, should we kill them too? What a ridiculous jump of logic, and how sad you think it's justified.

    I think this kind of thinking is just a big circle....murdering the murderer is still murder....

    It is not, and a Christian that has studied his faith (and not a demented version fed to him by a Randall Terry) understands this.

    I am pro choice but like most people that are pro choice I understand this is a complicated issue. And if I can talk someone out of an abortion, I will. It is a horrible decision to have to make, but one should have the right to make it. There happened to be a good article in the Chicago tribune for those that feel that abortion will go away if it is outlawed - it will not.

    Randall Terry and his followers will bombard you with messages that Obama supports abortion so he is a child murderer. He supports the choice; he does not encourage it. And more importantly he supports giving help to the living being AFTER it is out of the womb unlike too many Republicans so happy to go for the anti-abortion votes but then could care less about the child's welfare from that point on.

    The issue is intent. Not all killing is murder. If someone were to have assassinated Hitler during his heyday, it would have been perceived as an act of mercy to the many people he was killing.

    Dr. Tiller was not just another abortionist. Even people who are pro choice are 80% against late term abortions, defined as killing a baby in the womb after the point when that child is viable (or able to survive outside the womb). This particular abortionist specialized in exactly that kind of procedure.

    It is such a heinous act that only three abortionists in the entire state will agree to perform them. He was one of them. In fact he made a lot of money doing so. This is pure and simply infanticide. If anyone other than an abortionist did such a thing he would be charged with first degree murder.

    While I, to am against civilians taking the law into their own hands, I can certainly understand why someone would in this abortionist's case. If I were to serve as a juror on the abortion slayer's case I would have to vote not guilty because I do not see this as a murder.

    In fact, any juror who ends up serving on this case will be subjected to descriptions of the late term abortion procedures, as well as photos of the aftermath. The dead children's bodies will give plenty of pro-choice proponents pause, let me tell you. There will be testimony from Nurses and other people who have assisted in such barbaric practices, too.

    It is nearly impossible to find doctors and nurses who will participate in this soul harvesting procedure. Why do you suppose that is?

    It is not choosing one murderer over another when you consider that one was done to stop the other. I do not think Dr. Tiller would have been killed had he not kept up the killing of babies. In fact, there were two previous attempts on his life. What was his motivation to continue doing them? Was money so important to him or did he just like killing innocent children? Why do so many other abortionists refuse do them? Why won't nurses assist?

    This could finally turn the lights on the whole dark and ugly world of abortion that few of its supporters even know about.

    I think it falls under the death in war category

    Unfortunately, the religious right will celebrate this death. Murder is wrong, be it babies or doctors.

    Self defence you dumb ***.

    Or someone hurting your family or about too.

    Or if someone said I'll cut your mother throat unless you fight me to the death.

    Well, Christians aren't celebrating his death.

    The news media, on the other hand, will have a field day *pretending* that they are.

    Ask the pro choice ( abortionist ) , they do not seem to have a problem with it.
