West Bank teen arrested in rape and murder of 8-month-old

Execution is legal and therefore not murder. Abortionist should know this since many of them like to remind pro-lifers/anti-abortionist that since abortion is legal it is not murder.

Well I was damned either way.

Either I call the state action "murder" of I call tiller's death "killing".

In both cases I support their right to due process ;)

IN regards to abortion there is no such thing as due process. Even if Tiller was convicted of illegally performing late term abortion he still would not be charged with murder. What then?

Killing is a universal term. Kill means to deprive one of life.

Some states do charge "murder" for the wrongful death of the unborn...his state was not one?

"Killing" is legal, that's the difference, and I wasn't about to call Tiller's assassination legal.

Sure they are. But both are living creatures. To extinguish the life of a killer is to be a hypocrite.

No its not.To execute a killer is to ensure he does not kill again and to give him an ultimate punishment. This in some way also encourages others to not do the same,because I am sure if 1st degree murder was punishable with a slap on the wrist more people would do it.

That's because we both know the answer to my question, Jerry.

Apparently only you do, because I don't subscribe to any of the pacifist denominations of Christianity.

No,killing can be legal and illegal. When it is illegal killing it is called murder or manslaughter.


I wasn't about to call Tiller's assassination legal.

Neither was I since vigilante killing or assassination is not legal.

Horrible logic. "You killed someone. Now we're going to kill you. It's okay though, because we, the government, are the arbiters of life and death. That makes it acceptable to kill a killer." Killing perpetuates the acceptability of the ending of life.
 
Hang him upside down in the middle of town and let the villagers beat him to death.

Helping Pro-Choice see the Tiller murder from the other side :cool:

I mean, come on, everyone is going to agree with the OP, so there's not much else we could do with this thread.

Did Tiller beat and rape the fetuses for crying?

He may as well have.

If the teen in the OP had cut off the infant's arms and legs and used a drill to empty the skull, that would make everything OK?

A baby killer is a baby killer regardless if the baby is inside or outside the womb. I know as abortionist you are going to mock the anti-antiabortionist for equivocating a baby inside the womb to a human and a baby.

Well you could have left it alone instead of bringing up irrelevant connections to a totally different situation. Unless, of course, Tiller beat and raped the fetuses for crying.

So, in your opinion, they are the same thing. Congrats? This still is not a thread on abortion.

The closeness in age between the two make them very smiler.
