WICHITA, Kan. – The suspect in the killing of abortion provider George Tiller is in talks with a prominent attorney who represents anti-abortion protesters and has long advocated justifiable homicide as a legal defense in such cases.

But Hirsh discounted the suggestion that if a jury acquitted Roeder of murder based on such a defense, it would lead to an open season on abortion doctors.
Interesting...I thought doctors *already* performed abortion all year round.

"It has been open season on unborn children for over 30 years. I think on abortionists there will be a bag limit," Hirsh said in a phone interview this week from his Kennesaw, Ga., office.
I can't believe this guy is a lawyer. There's something called history. Study it sometime, and see that abortion has been existing longer than three decades. See that it's also legal in other countries.

The principle of self-defense and the defense of another has been recognized for centuries, Hirsh said. But he acknowledged its use in abortion-related cases has been stifled, saying that in Hill's case, the prosecutor and judge made sure jurors wouldn't hear it.
If you paid attention in law school, Mr Hirsh...you would know that when one says "Defense of another", they are talking about defending another person. You know, someone who has already been born like a relative or a friend.

Even if the jurors did listen to it, they would've found Hill guilty anyway because it's NOT lawful to condem someone and play executioner without having a fair trial.

The Florida Supreme Court ruled in denying Hill's appeal that his motivation would not change the outcome of the case. "As a practical matter, permitting a defendant to vindicate his or her criminal activity in this manner would be an invitation for lawlessness," the justices wrote.
May history repeat itself in the Roeder's case
