And just WHO is to be named the moral arbiter for humanity?

It doesn't. Go back and read my earlier posts on this thread.

I find the actions of the murderer deplorable. Again, he should rot in a cell for the rest of his life.

I'm simply trying to clarify against any suggestions that abortion is always legal at all stages of pregnancy.

Maybe that was a price he was willing to pay.

No. He was tried and found not guilty, but there was still a case (obviously, not a criminal one, but one in which actions could be taken against his license nonetheless) before the state Medical Board at the time of his death. Again, I'll have to read more about it.

I'm not going to say good for him. What he did was wrong and he is, in fact, a murderer who deserves to be punished severely.

Once again, there was no killing of babies. Stop with your propaganda that enables such violence against doctors and those who work at and visit clinics where abortions are performed.

And thankfully, he was one of three willing to perform these procedures: "Tiller had been practicing medicine for nearly 40 years, said Peter Brownlie, president of the Kansas City-based regional Planned Parenthood office. His patients were "'almost always in circumstances where something had gone horribly wrong with a pregnancy,'" and where a woman's health would be endangered if the pregnancy continued, Brownlie said.

You're confusing advocating and defending. They are different. That being said, to wish imprisonment or deportation to those that are defending the murderer is fascism. You might find their position despicable, as do I, but that doesn't mean we imprison people simply because we disagree with the, That is fascism. Would you have wished that the jury who acquitted OJ, or the very larger segment of the black population that defended him be imprisoned? That's exactly what a few posters here are doing, and it's more scary then defending a murderer.

the woman has a legal right to choice. abortion in this country is elective. the doctor did a service for the woman, just like a dentist or a plastic surgeon would do. he was a doctor preforiming a legal medical service. change the law if you don't like that the doctor was doing this service. do not kill him. killing the doctor is almost an oxymoron, it put the killer on the "same level" as the doctor. who, the killer considered a murderer". the killer was so outraged that this doctor was "killing" that he had to be killed? pretty stupid thinking. work within the law to change what you don't like about the country. if you can justify this killer's thinking then it isn't a far reach to think its ok to murder women who have had an abortion. this was a crazy person who went on a vengence kill, plain and simple. you can't justify it

Really? The doctor didn't perform abortions?

Let me ask you; if the abortion never took place, what would be the result?

What was it then? They were viable outside of the womb. If they weren't babies, were they asparagus, ottomans, Mars bars? Tell us.
