Justifiable Homicide

What is "Justifiable Homicide"?

Here is the definition that I found at the following address:
http://www.criminal-law-lawyer-source.com/terms/justifiable.html:

"Justifiable homicide is the killing of one person by another that is committed without malice or criminal intent. When a person commits a justifiable homicide they are not guilty of a criminal offense. Homicide can be considered justifiable homicide if it is committed in self defense, the defense of others, while trying to prevent of serious crime, and in the line of duty. Capital punishment is also considered justifiable homicide. Preventing a prisoner from fleeing by means of deadly force may also be considered justifiable homicide." So, apparently, there are times when killing someone is not a crime. It also appears that there is a pretty narrow range of circumstances where killing someone is permissible; defense of self or others, preventing serious crime, and capital punishment are identified here.

So, what are some examples of times when it is not ok to kill someone?

For example:

Is it ok for me to kill someone who is interfering with my education or career?
May I kill someone who generally makes my life more difficult?
What if I am simply not ready to deal with someone; may I kill that person?

Seven states report information regarding the reasons women give when asked why they are having an abortion. Other relevant information can be obtained from the Center For Disease Control's abortion surveillance and the Allan Guttmacher Institute.

Following are some tabulated results from the Allan Guttmacher Institute:

Nationwide, the percentage of abortions performed as a result of rape or incest is 0.3%. That’s three tenths of one percent. Abortions performed in response to risk of maternal health or life is 1%. In the case of abortions performed in cases of fetal abnormality, the figure is 0.5%.
About 98% of abortions performed in the United States are elective and performed for primarily social reasons, economic reasons, and birth control.
For example, in a 2004 AGI survey, 25% of the women said the most important reason for having their abortion was being unready. Coming in second place as the most important reason was “can’t afford a baby” at 23% of women. The third most popular answer for the reason for their abortion was that she has all the children she wants or her children are grown at 19% of women. When tallying up all data regarding this question, since the women were able to select primary (most important) and secondary reasons for their abortions, the answers were similar. Among all responses to the question about why the woman was having the abortion, the number one answer at 74% was concern over how a baby would change the woman’s life. 73% chose can’t afford a baby, 42% stated they were unmarried as a reason for abortion and 48% said they were having relationship problems or wanted to avoid being a single parent. 38% said the child would interfere with their education or career plans.

Justifiable?

Hardly!
