But by the same token, I also have a hard time garnering much sympathy for Roeder. Whether you believe in what he did or not, he had to have known and accepted the consequences of his actions, and should have prepared himself for that eventuality.
Sucks for him that the world isn't universally regarding him as a hero. Murder is still murder, whether in the 1st trimester or the 210th. Both Roeder and Tiller will also have to face God's judgement at some point.
