For the sake of the discussion, why don't we kill the semantic argument and go with the term "defense of the unborn" instead of arguing over the intricacies of self-defense law (just about every state lumps self-defense and defense of others into justifiable use of force/justifiable homicide anyway.) I think we can all agree that Roder believed that he was acting in defense of the unborn, so let's get over that speedbump.
