PRIEST'S ANTI-ABORTION AD JUSTIFIES KILLING DOCTORS

A Roman Catholic priest wants to place an ad that labels the slaying of abortion doctors as "justifiable homicide," a newspaper reported Sunday.

The Rev. David Trosch, who heads St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Magnolia Springs, designed the advertisement that shows a doctor about to perform an abortion, and another man with a gun pointed at the doctor.

Two words accompany the drawing: "Justifiable Homicide."

Trosch, 57, attempted to run the advertisement in the Mobile Press-Register last week, but the newspaper refused.

"If 100 doctors need to die to save over 1 million babies a year, I see it as a fair trade," Trosch told the paper in an interview.

Trosch said he's thought of killing a doctor himself, but "only remotely." - Associated Press
