Countdown to execution of anti-abortion killer

Security is being tightened at America's abortion clinics amid warnings that the execution of an anti-abortion extremist in Florida next week could trigger violence by the movement's fanatical fringe.
The FBI has also placed known anti-abortion extremists under surveillance in the final countdown to the death of Paul Hill, who is scheduled to die by lethal injection for the 1994 murder of an abortion doctor and his security escort.

"We are very concerned about a backlash against abortion providers," said Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation, whose 400 facilities nationwide account for half of America's annual 1.2m abortions. "We are concerned that we'll see another murder, an arson, a bombing."

The problem is being taken particularly seriously in the light of a series of anonymous death threats mailed to Florida state officials last week, urging against the execution and containing bullets from high- powered rifles usually used for military and hunting purposes. In addition, there have been a number of internet warnings from religious extremists, including an organisation called the Army of God, which expounds radical views.

If there is a God. I'm pretty sure she'll have something to say to these guys.

are pro life only until the baby is born. Once the baby is born they don't care whether the child is fed or receives a good education. Once the baby is born and if he/she is born into a poor family then it is survival of the fittest. The child and its parents are then demonized by the Repuke right.

Why do they call themselves "pro-life" when they advocate the murder of political opponents? They might as well have "I AM A HYPOCRITE" tattooed on their foreheads. :eyes:

I ran into a couple of these gargoyles once at a gun show, scary mo-fos that make the folks at FreeRepublic look tame by comparison.

They are the ones responsible for sites like the Nuremburg files (the site that listed the names and personal information for women's clinic personnel and choice advocates).

Given some of the things I've been through in the past, I don't scare easily, but these guys make me worry. :scared:

The last time I went to a gun show 90% of the people there worried me. Really.... a gun show is a great place to meet 'merican wierdos. Kinda like an armed freak show, IMHO.

i would not be surprised if there are attacks in response to his death or on the "anniversary"

One more drawback to state killing.

would be used to describe any violent retaliatory actions.

They are terrorists and theocrats.
And if they decide that martyrdom is the way to go,
I will volunteer to throw the switch.
But what I wont do is let them make
a pregnancy into a tragedy for hundreds of thousands
of American women each year.
