Therefore I see no rationale for accusing Roeder of being a simple vigilante and murderer. He is by far more innocent than the man he killed, and this sort of confusion and violence is in fact the result of America's schism on this issue. Millions of people cry out against the injustice of abortion, comparing it daily to murder, but then declare shock and disgust when someone does the only sensible thing and takes up arms to defend the innocent. I think the vast majority of people simply do not believe their own anti-abortion rhetoric. Indeed, many's the liberal I've seen in recent years condemning the anti-abortion camp for inspiring precisely this sort of violence, and pointing out the hypocrisy of declaring abortion to be like murder while denouncing anyone who acts violently to stop it. PETA is more vehement in its actions to preserve simple beasts than your typical anti-abortion activist is.
As for me, I will have to wait for a more viable revolutionary organization than the Montana Freemen, the Sovereign Citizen movement, or any of the abortion organizations I have seen, violent or nonviolent, before I throw myself fully into harms way, but I definitely support the use of organized resistance and even violence in the protection of children against late term abortions. It certainly seems self defeating though to go out and shoot someone without having the revolutionary structure in place to make it stick.
Brave, but foolish, I guess is my opinion of the man. Apparently also possibly mentally ill... Way to go healthcare system.
