Justifiable Homocide

[denuseri]

Actually the only thing I could find about tieing justifiable homicide to anything even remotely related to abortion, was that some pro-abortion proponents had a mis-understanding and took too over blown tooting about online in a handfull of forums when a nebraska state legislator purposed a bill that would define and defend a pregnant woman who killed someone in self defence as a justifiable act of homicide to protect her unborn child.

(political party just like religious afiliation or lack there of : is irelevant anyways imho since there are plenty of people in both parties and in all belief systems ~which includes athiests by definition~ both for and against abortion)

The abortion rights proponents said that this paticular bill would somehow provide anti-abortionists in nebraska justification for defence in the killing of an abortion doctor as justifiable homicide...which I believe is a spurious corolation designed to add yet more sophistry to the media fire at best.

Sounds like it does not have anything to with lawful or 'official' killing, as some, especially British cites, sites define JH.
But I can't help wondering why present laws regarding self-defence are not sufficient.

To a point I agree with you. All parties have their nutcases. But in the US, at least, the far right wing of the Republican Party seems to be infested with the hard-core religious . . . people, most especially the extremely conservative Christians.

And for the umpteenth time, atheism is NOT a belief system, but a denial of belief systems. Specifically, religious belief systems. Just like not believing in unicorns is NOT a belief system.
