Anti-choice radicals refuse to face two facts

On July 28, a preliminary hearing was held for Scott Roeder in Kansas. Roeder is charged with the May 31 murder of Dr. George Tiller, who performed late-term abortions. He pleaded not guilty.

Prior to the hearing, Roeder told the Associated Press that Tiller's murder was justified:

"Well, yeah. The thing is, how could it not be? Again, you know, he was in the business, and had been for many years, of taking the lives of unborn children. So if the lives of born children are worthy of protection, why would not the lives of unborn children be worthy of protection? That is really what it comes down to."

I've heard that "justification" before from anti-choice radicals.

But there is a legal fact that they conveniently ignore: Abortion is legal, but the murder of an abortion provider is not.

Another fact: Killing the doctors will not make abortion go away.

Because, if all abortion doctors were killed, many women would still resort to back-alley butchers and dangerous homemade remedies, as in the past. And anyone who would want that to happen cannot be called "pro-life".
