This past week an American judge accepted what is called a justification defense from a a man on trial for the murder of Dr. George Tiller, who performed late-term abortions. Scott Roeder has entered a defense that his shooting was justified, because in doing so he was saving the lives of unborn children. Many voiced both sympathy and understanding of his actions. This is yet another example of the radical Evangelical Christianity that exists in America. With Pat Roberston’s gem about the devil in Haiti coming just days after this judges decsion, (see next post) its easy to see fundementalist thinking is not just an Eastern phenomena, is alive and well in the West.
