The killer's name is Scott P. Roeder, read all about him here

Scott P. Roeder, 51, of Merriam, was arrested on Interstate 35 near Gardner nearly four hours after Tiller was shot to death just after 10 a.m. in the lobby of Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita. Roeder was a member of an anti-government group in the 1990s and a staunch abortion opponent.

“-------

Sympathetic’ to cause

In the rear window of the car that Roeder was driving when police stopped him was a red rose — a symbol that is often used by abortion opponents. On the rear of his car was a Christian fish symbol with the word “Jesus” inside.

Those who know Roeder told The Kansas City Star that he believed killing abortion doctors was an act of justifiable homicide.

“I know that he believed in justifiable homicide,” said Regina Dinwiddie, a Kansas City abortion opponent who made headlines in 1995 when a federal judge ordered her to stop using a bullhorn within 500 feet of any abortion clinic. “I know he very strongly believed that abortion was murder and that you ought to defend the little ones, both born and unborn.”

1. You don't justify murder
even if you are taking out a murderer, which isn't what was going on in this case. Funny that the Dinwiddie woman said you should defend the little ones, including those who are already born. Then why in the world aren't these jayhoos supporting fudning for unwed mothers, increasing food stamps for poor families, etc? They could spend all their energies on these projects.
