"Two wrongs don't make one right," as the saying goes. Nor, do laws making abortion legal and murder illegal settle the issue, either. In the final court of justice, however, God will have the last word. So, about the best we can do as Christians is to do everything within our power (without committing a crime to do so) to put a stop to the murder of the innocent unborn child. And, at this point, that boils down to persuasion and prayer, as far as I can see.

Why wasn't this Christian terrorist and assassin given teh death penalty that he deserved?

Kathleen, I know this will irritate you to no end, but if you would read carefully, or check it out, the state of Michigan has a MAXIMUM sentence of life in prison. He was given the maximum sentence. There, now you can go celebrate.

I assume you will also closely watch the sentencing of the killer of the anti-abortionist, who was killed in cold blood while protesting? Just so he isn't forgotten, the innocent man's name was Jim Pouillon. Keep an eye out that the "terrorist assassin" is also given the maximum sentence. And this happened in the state of Michigan too, so you can only hope he is given the maximum sentence of life in prison. Let's see if he is. The "terrorist's" name is Harlan Drake.

If you don't think the news is biased by the way, try doing a search on these 2 different cases. Our media is a joke. The liberals have overrun everything but continue to shout out their victimhood.

Seriously, this happened in Kansas. Kansas does have the death penalty but hasn't used it since 1976.

If Mr.Roeder had the least bit of decency, he would insist on the death penalty as punishment. Surely he would want to hurry on to meet his lord, given the fact that he is convinced he was doing the lord's duty.

Barbara is exactly right. There have been many instances of violence against pro-life activists who were peacefully trying to talk to women near abortion clinics, but not on the property. A specific incident that comes to mind, besides this one, is that of a staff member of an abortion clinic holding a knife to the throat of a pro-lifer and threatening to kill the other woman if she continued to talk about abortion alternatives outside the building. For every act of violence against abortionists, you can find 10-20 against pro-lifers. Anyone care to respond to that?

How many murders have the prolifers committed over the past 15-20 years against clinic workers and women? It's close to a dozen. It's time for the US government to label these groups officially as domestic terrorist operations.

Now that's strange: you never seem to have addressed a majority of my comment. I am curious about something, however. How would you define a terrorist organization: perhaps a group that makes death threats, murder, acts of physical violence, and spreads propaganda to further their cause?

Although it is despicable that clinic workers and women have been murdered (or injured) by pro-life extremists since abortion became legal, a dozen deaths (and I would question if it is indeed that many - I'd like to see a list) in 15-20 years hardly compares to the amount of murders committed inside the clinic.

Kathleen, you should really check out this link. The map on the right is a link to specific state-by-state instances of acts of violence committed by members of the pro-abortion movement.

Caesar says abortion is legal. Killing a man is not. By law, abortionist (I guess that's what you call them) have the right. Applied Ethics is severely missed in Christianity. Think...I'm against killing a Fetus but I'm Pro killing 4,000+innocent children in Iraq... because it's a "JUST WAR". Sad to say but this whole Right Wing Christian Agenda has me dizzy. Sorry to say Dad but Jesus was no Republican, nor Democrat!
