South Dakota Bill Would Make Killing An Abortion Provider "Justifiable Homicide"

A committee in South Dakota's House of Representatives has passed a bill that would broaden the legal definition of "justifiable homicide" to include murders done to prevent harm to a fetus — like abortion — which reproductive rights advocates believe is a way to legalize the killing of abortion providers.

Dr. George Tiller, the late-term abortion provider who was murdered in May 2009 at his church in Kansas by an anti-abortion extremist—who later tried to use "the necessity defense" because he genuinely believed he was "saving babies"—is rolling over in his grave right now.
