On Trial’s Sidelines, Abortion Foes Divided

National groups like Operation Rescue have publicly denounced Scott Roeder, an abortion opponent accused of shooting of abortionist Dr. George R. Tiller. “This trial isn’t meaningful for the movement,” Mr. Newman said last week. “What happened is antithetical to the Christian cause and to the stated foundation principles of pro-life.” But for a miniscule contingent of abortion opponents — those who argue that the killing of an abortion doctor can be considered justified by the abortions it prevents — Mr. Roeder’s case has become a rallying point.
