As if it’s not enough to single out Roeder’s Christianity as his distinctive characteristic, (but how often in Western civilization has a Christian been jailed for a crime?), the subhead reinforces the main head.
“A born-again Christian who killed a doctor that provided late-term abortions has been jailed for life in the US.”
Not only did a Christian do this, but a born-again Christian, the most dangerous kind. If this guy were allowed any more headlines, we’d soon learn that Sarah Palin and the Tea Partiers were behind all this.
In the article, reporter Rob Cole quotes the Tiller family lawyer, Lee Thompson:
He said Tiller was all about women’s rights. "He was committed to it. He gave his life to the rights of women."He did? Maybe after you exclude from those rights a woman’s right to be born.

One could also argue that he (Tiller) upheld the rights of adult men to rape underage girls with impunity.
Too bad Sky News did not point out that Christianity expressly condemns both murder (Exodus 20:13) and revenge (Romans 12:19)
Dr. Tiller, of course, was guilty of murder which, while legal, across the world is trumped by Divine Law. Dr. Tiller's judgment comes from God and the penalty is eternal (Revelation 21:8). The math is pretty easy - eternal is forever.
