Why Bombing Abortion Clinics is Wrong - A Catholic, "Just War," Perspective

Are you pretending that is any different than an abortion clinic? It isn't.

And no, vigilantism like you describe whether dealing with your theoretical or its 1:1 analogue in reality is not a good thing.

It's very different. But beside the point. You're saying that if the government starts opening up clinics that kill a certain number of innocent people every day, that no one should resort to violence in fighting it? What about if they pass a law banning guns, you wouldn't put up a fight with them coming to your house and grabbing your guns?
 
Theres no justification in the bombing of medical facilities that conduct abortions. Its a form or mental retardation and its terrorism. Next as far as any dishonest extremist claiming its justified under Christianity is simply spouting off their uneducated subjective opinion that nobody should ever take seriously.

Revolt and revolution can be justified in such an instance; vigilantism can't.

No, they're not the same thing.

Ok, can revolution be justified in the case that the government setup murder clinics that kills innocent civilians? Why not for abortion clinics?

This isn't vengeance. This is stopping them from going in to work the next day and killing more. If it was a person that had killed and wasn't going to do it again, then your point stands. But if you know for a fact that they are going to do it again and again day after day then you would be morally bound to stop that person somehow.

Sure, and that's why I have no problem destroying the abortion mill. I just can't condone murder.


You would take no part of murdering someone to prevent them from murdering someone else? We aren't talking about some one who has only killed in the past, but someone who you know is going to go to that building tomorrow and kill a dozen people, and then a dozen the next day, and a dozen the day after that. You wouldn't be morally obligated to stop that?

To stop it? Sure. To murder him? No.

You're asking me? Additional justification is already not required.
