Ask the Pastor: How should Christians view the recent murder of a late-term abortion doctor?

By: Johnny Coggin

You may have heard the news about the murder of late-term abortion doctor, Dr. George Tiller, this past Sunday. This event raises significant questions for Christians who believe that abortion is also murder.

*Was the murder justified because of the multitude of horrific abortions performed by this doctor? Or even because the lives of many unborn babies may now be spared?

*Or is murder simply wrong, regardless of the intent and the potential for positive outcome?

Dr. Jimmy Young offers an answer here.
