    Default I never know what to say about such things!

    Abortion Doctor George Tiller Killed at Church, Attorney Says - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com

    Seems rather cut and dry doesn't it? Let us muddy the water a bit.

    Was the killer trying to protect unborn children? If so, wouldn't another doctor just take his place? doesn't the killer run the risk of making this doctor into a martyr? Is it really the killers place to protect the unborn? Isn't that the parents responsibility? Do they not have to answer to their conscience and God ( or whatever your belief is)? Does the doctor force these women unto the operating table? And finally, Who is the final arbiter of all of our actions and decisions?

    Feel free to answer as you see fit or muddy the waters further with more questions.

    is the guy who dumped the Zyklon B into the showers...
    A. More guilty than Hitler.
    B. Equally guilty to Hitler.
    C. Less guilty than Hitler.
    D. Much less guilty because it was the societal norm.
    E. Justified in his actions as a result of the societal norm.
    F. Unjustly persecuted for doing what he thought was acceptable.

    If you managed to kill him before he could open the canister would it be murder?
    A. Yes killing is murder.
    B. Not if you saved lives.
    C. It doesn't matter because they will get someone else.
    D. Depends how society views Nazis.

    I'm just giving perspective on moral relativism and it's consequences in society.

    I'll add one more question: what kind of abortion doctor can do his "job" on Friday, and then go to church and worship God on Sunday?

    as long as you stay within the guidelines for forum behavior. if you're unsure whether your posts fits them, it probably doesn't.

    the above was in compliance with the g-doctrine on preemption

    Exactly my point!
    You could say he is saving lives by killing one life but is it really up to him.
    I suspect some people need excuses to do as they wish to do. This point was brought home to me at a young age. I was chopping firewood with an axe in the woods around our house in Northern California when a big snake came out of the brush and began to chase me. My father called these snakes Bull snakes. I had seen plenty of rattlers and killed a few for food and skin before this so I knew it wasn't a rattler. I ran for about 3 or 4 steps and then turned and brought my axe down upon his head. I told my father I was scared and killed the snake but he knew better. he said "No you weren't. You wanted to kill the snake." He was right. when I turned to face the snake there was little in the way of fear and I could've out run him or even picked him up with a stick and tossed him aside but I chose to kill the poor creature and then proceeded to lie to myself and my father, to further convince myself of the rightness of my action.
