conundrum ... if the only way I could stop someone from murdering someone else was to shoot and kill

[zbdent]

the potential murderer, and I stopped the potential murderer, would I be considered a hero?

If the potential murderer was going to kill a doctor who performs abortions ...

[Fovea]

1. what do you mean by potential?

If they have a gun pointed at the victim, blow them away, IMO.
If you have this feeling... don't.

5. rhetorical ... I was just wondering if I would be considered a hero

by the "liberal media" if I stopped someone from preventing a murder of a doctor who chooses to perform abortions.

2. Abortion is neither illegal nor murder

So he's very much a murderer, and very much not a hero. And if all this murderer has is "potential" maybe it would just be easier to call the cops--or warn the doctor.

3. and if the abortion is not performed there may be some sever consequences

for the woman and child involved.

[obliviously]

4. Issue him a strongly worded letter

or threaten to put sanctions against him. Just sayin
