Re: The execution of Paul Hill - convicted of killing an abortion doctor

Paul Hill, a Presbyterian minister who gunned down an abortion doctor and his bodyguard is scheduled to be executed on Septermber 3rd. (The first scheduled execution for anti-abortion related violence.)

If you don't know anything about this story, you can check some of it out here: Paul Hill

Personally, I don't think his actions were justified killings, even in the "name of the Bible." What are your feelings?
Like others who have already posted, I don't feel the issue here is abortions or whether or not he was an abortion doctor. It was the fact that he murdered living people.

This might be going out on a limb, but so what if his faith believes that abortion is wrong (as pertaining to the murders)? If people are on Mr. Hills side because their faith believes it is wrong and/or evil to have or perform an abortion, and they believe Mr. Hill's actions were "justified" by the Bible, than that would be like saying all those people who are terrorists and kill other races/cultures of people is ok since that is part of their beliefs.
