Was the murder of Dr. George Tiller justified?

[BDBoop]

Do you believe the person who shot and killed the abortion doctor was justified in doing so.

Ah....I see what prompted this.

Tiller was a monster.


But murder is not justifiable. Tiller should have been attacked on legal grounds, along with the practice of infanticide.

 

[BDBoop]

In what sense was Tiller a monster. He legally and safely offered a necessary service. He did not deserve to be killed.

 

[Sallow]

It was worse than murder..Tiller's shooting was an act of terror.

And should have been treated as such.

A hard 50. No possibility of parole.

Good.

A perpetrator of infanticide is a monster.

He legally and safely offered a necessary service. He did not deserve to be killed.

He legally and not very safely delivered infanticide.

What he deserved is irrelevant - the killer is not justified, there is no justification for murder. He also did a disservice to his cause, the way to fight the George Tillers of the world is to shine a light on their heinous acts. Murdering Tiller made him sympathetic - which he should never be. Beyond this, we are a nation of laws - or at least should be, and the way to fight evil such as Tiller is through the law.

If abortions are legal, what case is there against him? Unsafe medical practices can be adjudicated, but the practice itself cannot.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

His murder proved what we all know - anti-freedom, anti-choice people are also anti-people. They don't really care about fetuses except as a tool of hate.

They hate human beings and especially have little care for children.

You don't prove life is valued and sacred by taking lives or starving children, handicapped, disabled vets, elderly. It just doesn't work that way.

Thread cleaned. Folks this is "Zone 1": Clean Debate Zone (CDZ) Civil discourse is the focus here, regardless of topic matter. Constructive criticism and debate is the tone. No negative repping. No insulting, name calling, or putting down other posters. Consider it a lesson in Civics.

When it first happened it was pretty horrifying, certainly done by a maniac who deserved the death penalty. Since then I have learned that Killer Tiller was worse than Kermit Gosnell. Tiller's partner was stripped of her medical license and only escaped criminal prosecution by shifting blame for the worst of the murders to George Tiller. The man that ended that sadistic career has earned sainthood by sacrificing himself.

 

[bodecea]

Talk is cheap for some anti-choice bullies.

So I guess you prefer your anti-abortion rights protesters to be murdering thugs?

Not that much difference between murdering thugs and those who support them....except maybe cowardice.

Malpractice is a good start. People don't become abortionists because they have the brains and ability to be real doctors. Tiller no doubt ran a very similar operation to Gosnell. Two hack abortionists.

Unsafe medical practices can be adjudicated, but the practice itself cannot.

Of course it can.

Abortion is less popular every year. While a religious sacrament to the left, late term abortion especially is distasteful to the majority of Americans.

"has earned sainthood".............

 

[BDBoop]

I'm failing to see how killing a man in cold blood leads to an unmediated schizophrenic being declared a 'saint.'

Are you speaking of those who support Tiller and Gosnell?

Okay, and I'm guessing that's because most Americans are uneducated.

Late term abortions are very rare. Almost without exception they are sought due to health concerns for the mother, fetus, or both.

Gee. I see you eschew hyperbole whenever you get the chance.

Educated people kill their offspring?

Perhaps your guess is based on a lack of education?

Late term abortions are very rare.

Common enough to keep scumbags like Gosnell and Tiller in business.

Almost without exception they are sought due to health concerns for the mother, fetus, or both.

Funny, the standard pro-abortion lie is that "Almost without exception they are sought due to health concerns for the mother,"

Yet abortion promoters still recoil like a slug in salt to suggestions that third trimester abortions be restricted to only health of the mother. Why would that be?

Simple answer, because your claim isn't true.

 

[BDBoop]

A lack of education on my part.

You can't actually debate without attacking, can you.

I'm done here.
