There are ways and means to legitimately oppose a law. Shooting someone certainly isn't one of them.
Couldn't have said it better myself. And plus this guy had a wife, four kids, and 10 grandkids. Talk about tragic.
Heres a link to an article I found on google. I'll put it in the original post as well.

Before I continue let me just say the following comment by me is meant as ironic, I'm not looking to offend anybody's view.
I just wonder what made the killer think that he/she had the right to kill the doctor on behalf of God. Surely God is more than able to deal with anybody who offends him?

Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life. Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.

I dont understand why there is hate for this man, he did what he was ASKED to do by the parents...
THEY told him to kill their unborn baby so in what way is he responsible? when a man kills another man does the court inprison the weapon?
To me it seems illogical to blame the tool as he was merely following orders of those who legally own the baby that they are aborting.
Whether the parents should have aborted so late in the pregnancy however is a very different issue.

all these people protest and hassle doctors, yet they are simply doing thier job.

Doctors always have an ethical responsibility, but look at the number of abortions that take place in China and India to avoid having girl babies.
In the UK, late abortions are a tiny percentage of the total and are done for serious medical reasons.

Right and wrong are meaningless concepts outside of an accepted framework. In this case the framework is the life of an individual, so right and wrong are determined by that individual.
I should also mention that if you accept the Bible as the literal word of God, and believe abortion to be wrong, then this killing was entirely justified. There is an explicit difference between killing and murder. Killing is acceptable, murder is not. If you believe the doctor murdered babies, then the man who killed did not commit murder per the Biblical definition as he was possessed of just cause.

one murderedf does not a rise in extremism make. Several were killed and wounded at a recruiting station. Is it fair to say left wing extremism is on the rise? Edit in fact you could make a much stronger case about the rise in shooting at churches in general. We're moving towards the rate of one church shooting a month now. Are the atheists are on a killing spree?
Nope and the other argument is just as stupid.

The shootings at churches going up shows that people no longer see church as a place of sanctuary or holiness. It's just another place to take your arguments and grievances with life.

Oh, I hadn't realized it was outside. I always put any mention of church in my mind frame of what my church is laid out like. Thought it might have occurred in the hall or something.

Wow thanks for your daily dose of psycho babble dogma. I was really needing your intuition here.
The problem with your supposition of course, is that God or the Bible makes no commandment to go around and commit justifiable homicide. In fact it's just the opposite.

Its not intuition, its basic logic. You can't say something is right or wrong without having a standard against which to judge the thing itself. Unless you're willing to say that you have a right to determine the biological affairs of another person you cannot lay claim to a legitimate ban on abortion.
generalgrog wrote:

That's phenomenally incorrect. The OT is littered with examples of justifiable homicide in the course of war, self-defense, and protection of the innocent.

Are you seriously trying to make the case that the Soviet Union was morally superior simply because it militantly enforced an Atheistic worldview? Really?
