Evil for evil?

Dr. George Tiller, a physician who performed legal abortions in Kansas, was shot and killed Sunday morning while attending church services. Presumably because of his controversial practice.

I make no secret that I am anti-abortion. I believe that those willingly involved in receiving or performing abortions are violating at least one of God's commandments.

But nowhere does God also command us to murder those who are involved in what He describes as murder. In fact, His word says the exact opposite.

Here are a few examples from the King James Version of the Bible:

(Rom 12:17) Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

(1Th 5:15) See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

(1Pe 3:9) Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

Even those who don't prescribe to God's laws would agree that even man's laws follow this same "philosophy".

The person responsible for this Doctor's death has shown himself to be no better, or different, than that to which he was so obviously opposed, the taking of the life of another.
