Specifies that any person has the right to defend the life of themselves or another, even by use of deadly force if necessary, from willful destruction by another person.

This would legalize the bombing of abortion clinics

Wouldn't it also allow these same women to use lethal force on someone attempting to kill them?

Yeah it honestly sounds vague and broad enough to be some kind of legal paradox

any person has the right to defend the life of themselves or another, even by use of deadly force if necessary, from willful destruction by another person.

So if I'm in public and witness John attempting to kill Jane, I now have the legal right to kill John to defend Jane's life.. but attempting to do so means John now has the legal right to kill me to defend his own life? And let's say Jane has Stockholm Syndrome and is defensive of John, she would also have the right to kill me? Which would then mean John has the right to kill Jane to defend me?

even if none of that was happening, my defense for randomly blasting all three of you and everyone behind you is that I could claim you were all mutually willful destructing each other.

Come to think of it this technically means you should have the right to save someone on death row by killing the entire legal prosecution team, as well as anyone apart of the state execution team for administering lethal injection
