    If you cannot tell the difference between a father killing a pedo kidnapper for trying to abduct his child vs some performing an abortion you need serious help that is beyond my ability to describe to you over the internet.

      Oh, I can see the difference in the two acts, and a jury can too. That’s where the check occurs. A jury would let the father off. A jury would convict the doctor murderer. However, you’re suggesting we don’t have that check and that not having it is okay. Thats the problem.

      If there’s no check, then anyone is free to carry out whatever killing they believe is justified and walk away scot-free.
