Aug 24, 2019 at 23:36 comment added Ken Graham The big objection with your example is it is the mothers to be who are are going to such doctors. Are they the ones to be harmed or sterilized in order to stop future abortions? Your question does not address this issue.

Aug 23, 2019 at 21:55 comment added Ken Graham It is the law that allows abortion to flourish that must be changed in order to stop a doctor from accomplishing such crimes; not harming or mutilating him.

Aug 23, 2019 at 21:47 comment added Thom We need to make a distinction between, 1) Punishing someone, 2) Defending someone. I agree that if someone wanted to punish some evil-doer that he can not do it because he does not have the authority to do it. However, the case, where the abortion doctor who walks toward the hospital to perform an abortion is attacked is not punishment, but rather a defense of the innocent from immediate danger. It seems to me that Aquinas is not speaking of defending the innocent but rather of punishing someone for some crime with a lack of proper authority.
