WASHINGTON (BP) --- The leaders of the country's major pro-life organizations universally decried the May 31 slaying of abortion doctor George Tiller, and many said they would be praying for his family.

    So, abortion: murder or not?

    Either abortion is murder, in which case the killing of the murderer is justified, or it is not murder, in which case the killing of an innocent person is not justified. "Legal means" are a ridiculous tactic if you are trying to stop a murderer. On the other hand, if you are not quite positive you are right, you might want to use the legal system to impose your sense of values on someone else.

    In the way of disclosure, I don't like abortion, but I don't think science has enough information to rationally state exactly when a person's life begins. Almost no one REALLY believes a fertilized egg is a person, but almost no one would deny a full-term baby is. In cases like this, where there is doubt, I prefer to err on the side of the woman's rights. The state is the LAST entity who should be telling people what is "moral" or not.
