I thought that, in America, if you don't like a law, you are permitted to challenge it and/or propose changes. I guess I missed the part that said you could kill people.

Taking matters into your own hands - particularly by killing someone when you call yourself "pro-life" - is ludicrous. The hypocrisy is amazing.

Yes, I understand this specific doctor may have violated some existing laws, but I'd bet anything that this was intended to be a more general statement for the pro-life cause.

All one as to do is read the threads on this board, and it is quite evident that people with that kind of mindset are still alive and well and still seem to believe it is "God's" will that they murder.

One thread comes to mind regarding abortion posted by eeeeee, and there were over a thousand posts in that thread!

Paul Hill's mentor and good friend was a "reverend" in Virginia, and strong activist regarding abortion. A very radical and dangerous person. I'll have to check back to find his name and the information about him and his "followers."

This is very bad news indeed. Another lunatic kills a doctor!

He was wrong to perform late term abortion but his murderer was even more wrong.

True. He was charged for his crimes and was found not guilty. That could have been a big part of the motivation for this shooting.

Like it or not, a not guilty verdict means you have to let it go. Vigilantism isn't acceptable.

What's the problem? This guy loved death. Personally he is where he belongs. He was no doctor. He was a murderer of innocent babies that could not defend themselves.

Well, the fundamental problem is that anyone can become a vigilante for any reason. If you don't work within a framework of laws developed by elected legislators, you are basically rejecting democracy.

For example, imagine a fringe "environmental activist" decides that CEOs of mining companies have poisoned and killed people, and that since the law won't act, he gets to kill them.

What's the difference there? Perhaps the killer has good evidence of people being poisoned, developing cancers, and so on from mining operations.

Does that mean he gets to make his own law?
