Abstract
"Using the three people killed by Michael Griffin and Paul Hill as a point of departure, this article examines whether violence is an appropriate tactic in the effort to end the national policy of abortion-on-demand. In particular, it discusses whether killing abortionists as they arrive at abortuaries to perform regularly scheduled abortions is a legally justfiable use of force in defense of another person's life. Assuming that tactic could be legally justified, the article further asks whether it can also be morally justified. The authors conclude it cannot, suggesting instead that there are alternatives to violence"particularly prayer and a determined, principled proclamation of the truth about abortion" that are more appropriate, prudent, and effective than escalating the violence abortionists and the Supreme Court have initiated."

    "In Roman law the text 'recte possidenti ad defendendam possessionem, quam sine vitio tenebat, inculpatae tutelae moderatio illatam vim propulsare licet'9 governed the situation. This meant that self-defence was an absolute defence; but the word moderatio showed that there were limits to this defence. Unfortunately, it is not clear whether the punishment was mitigated in Roman law when a defender exceeded the bounds of moderation.

This was the position in Roman-Dutch law.  Gomezius,10 Wesenbecius,11 Matthaeus,12 Carpzovius,13 Huber,14 Voet,15 Moorman,16 Van der Keessel17 and Van der Linden18 all regarded excessive self-defence as a ground for departing from the fixed poena ordinaria so as to leave a discretion to the judge to impose a lighter punishment, the poena extraordinaria. Most of the authors saw the ratio behind mitigation to lie in the fact that the defender had culpa and not dolus, but Matthaeus and Van der Keessel saw a link between this defence and provocation. This analogy stresses the pressure19 under which the offender has had to act rather than the lack of foresight on his part. Another factor enabling the judge to use the poena extraordinaria was ignorance or mistake of either law or fact.20 ...
