@Dutchess_III Dr. Tiller is interesting since he was a Christian, serving as an usher, but still performing late term abortions. His killer (quoted below) freely admitted why he killed Dr. Tiller, so that is no question. He was obviously under conviction from God in his heart, whether that came from God or not, is debatable, since we aren’t privy to his mental health records.
I think you’d have to be extremely dedicated to your particular cause to give up the rest of your life. But we all know soldiers still go to war, Japan had their kamikazi’s (@2800)! who willingly died, the missionary who died trying to get to the tribe recently, monks agreeing to be walled up to die – the list is endless of people willing to die for a cause or religion. Unlike @Mimishu1995, I do not believe it’s as simple as group think for all these people.
“In November 2009, Roeder publicly confessed to the killing, telling the Associated Press that he had shot Tiller because “preborn children’s lives were in imminent danger.”[6][7] Roeder was found guilty of first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault on January 29, 2010,[8] and sentenced on April 1, 2010, to life imprisonment without any chance of parole for 50 years.[9]”
