Roeder admits killing Dr. Tiller...going with the "protecting the preborn" defense

[greenbriar]

Monday, November 9, 2009

Scott Roeder has confessed to the shooting of a Kansas abortion provider.

The 51-year-old Kansas City, Mo., man told The Associated Press
in a telephone call from jail Monday that he plans to use the
so-called necessity defense at his trial.

Roeder contends the killing of Dr. George Tiller in May at a
Wichita church was justified to protect the lives of unborn
children.

In a telephone call from jail Monday, Scott Roeder told the AP:
"Because of the fact pre-born children's lives were in imminent
danger, this was the action I chose."

His confession comes as abortion opponents across the nation
release a new "Defensive Action Statement" arguing for the same
force to protect the unborn as is justified to protect born
children. The 21 signers want jurors to be allowed to consider that
defense at Roeder's Jan. 11 trial.

Among the signers are Eric Rudolph, James Kopp and Shelley
Shannon -- all serving prison time for targeting abortion doctors.

12. I didnt bring it up. Point your anger elsewhere.

[greenbriar]

[AnnieBW]

3. I wouldn't be so sure

In Missouri? He'll get off scott free. Probably even get the keys to the city of Kansas City. :mad:

[greenbriar]

5. its Kansas

but yea, he has a lot of friends

[petronius]

4. Can the judge disallow this so -called 'defense'?

I hope that, if another doctor is murdered or assaulted, all the signers of that statement are charged with conspiracy or incitement or something similar...

[DefenseLawyer]

6. He won't ever be able to get such an instruction

This crap is all for fund raising, not for the courtroom.

[greenbriar]

10. I like what one poster said.

Dr. Tiller never performed any abortions at church so the "imminent danger" clause won't work. That Defensive Action Pact was signed by many of Roeder's fellow Operation Rescue members.




Here is the Eagle's take opinions and all

And he has all of the "big league" of doctor-murdering with him.

Scum.

[no_hypocrisy]

11. His legal strategy is one of two things:

1) Hung jury with a mistrial
2) Jury nullification like OJ

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. Protecting the preborn but killing the living

Some morality.

[greenbriar]

25. he is a piece

of CRAP

[pipi_k]

26. I suppose it never occurred to him that he also needed to protect

the unborn from their own moms who do things that endanger them.

Why didn't he set up his own little army of spies to keep tabs on women who don't take their prenatal vitamins...who drink...smoke...take drugs (prescription and otherwise)...endanger their fetuses by staying in relationships where they're being hit or knocked around by abusive husbands or boyfriends...


I have a friend who has had custody of her oldest daughter's two children since they were very small. The daughter did crack and other drugs. The kids are so fucked up they'll NEVER have a "normal" life. They've been on just about every medication under the sun..in and out of foster homes, in and out of "boot camps"...etc. The boy tried killing his little cousin in the swimming pool. That's just for starters.

Nobody was there to make sure his mom wouldn't do drugs while she was pregnant with him and his sister.

No...the fuckers are all out "protecting" the unborn who will never even be aware of a thing anyway.
