It often is, depending on the circumstances. However, lethal self defense is permissible to prevent a felonious assault or at least a reasonable belief a felonious assault is about to occur. And even that varies from state to state.Yes = if it's a felonious assault. Abortion is not a felony, so no, you don't have the right to kill someone to protect an unborn child from abortion.The OP uses the same logic Isis uses to behead people. They believe they're right and all that matter is they believe it.
Does anyone have the right to kill in an act of self defense or in defense of another?
If your answer to that is yes. . . Then why would that not include a situation where someone is acting in defense of a prenatal child? I'm pretty sure (at least in some states) it's even justified to shoot someone who is trying to harm your livestock or property. . . So, why not a child in the womb?
Even then it should be put before a judge and jury to decide guilt. No justification for playing executioner.
Regardless, the point is moot since in no state is abortion a felony.
