The terms "extremist", "terrorist" and "freedom fighter" should be avoided or used with care. Editors discussing the use of these terms are advised to familiarize themselves with the guideline, and discuss objections at the relevant talkpage, not here. If you feel this article represents an exception, then that discussion properly belongs here.
Why is this even called an assassination here, rather than a murder? We define assassination as follows: "Assassination is the act of deliberately killing a prominent or important person, such as heads of state, politicians, royalty, celebrities, or CEOs." I don't believe Tiller fits any of those categories. -- Jack of Oz[pleasantries]02:12, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You can regard physicians as important people as many people depend for life or quality of life on them. And beside that, according to the mentioned assassination page: An assassination may be prompted by political and military motives. And that political motive is loud and clear.

@The Banner, WP:NPOV prevents us from using political spin terms such as "pro-choice" in articles. You can add "pro-abortion rights" if it helps you to clarify who he meant in the quote. Thanks. Elizium23 (talk) 00:51, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I call that censorship. And we have WP:SPADE. When backed up by sources, we should tell the truth. Not twiddle around it out of fear of hurting someone feelings. The Bannertalk08:45, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Tiller treated patients who discovered late in pregnancy that their fetuses had severe or fatal birth defects. He also aborted healthy late-term fetuses in cases where two doctors certified that carrying the fetus to term would cause the woman "substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function."
This doesn't seem to be supported by the source, which states that 3/4 of the abortions were teenagers who had hidden the pregnancy until late term. Similarly, the other late-term clinics state that the majority of late-term abortions are "elective". Ketil (talk) 06:53, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This was added all the way back around the time it happened, initially as "anti-abortion activist" then changed depending on the editor's POV.
But is it right to say when this is the only notable act of terrorism (or activism) from Roeder and he was just a normal scizophrenic man until then? It's a bit redundant and confusing, like you don't say someone was killed by a murderer, when that's the only murder they committed. 178.164.251.223 (talk) 21:11, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
