execution of minister for abortion clinic murders set for this PM

from several sources: ---

STARKE, FL. -- An unrepentant Paul Hill boasted Tuesday on the eve of his execution for the shotgun slaying of an abortion doctor: "I expect a great reward in heaven."

Hill, who also killed an unarmed escort when he murdered a Pensacola abortion doctor in 1994, said his execution will make him a martyr and he hopes it will inspire others to kill abortion doctors.

"More people should act as I have acted," the Presbyterian minister said during a media interview at Florida State Prison, where he is scheduled to be put to death by injection at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

"I don't feel remorse," said Hill, 49, who smiled throughout the interview.

He refused to acknowledge that killing was wrong and denied that he would be harshly judged by God.

"I expect a great reward in heaven," Hill said. "I am looking forward to glory."

Barring the unlikely possibility of a stay, Hill, who gunned down an abortion doctor will next week become the first American executed for anti-abortion violence.


Hill, a 49-year-old father of three, is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection Wednesday in Florida for the 1994 shotgun slayings of Dr. John Britton and his volunteer escort, retired Air Force officer James Barrett, outside the Pensacola, Fla., clinic where Britton performed abortions. Hill wants to die and is not pursuing an appeal.

To a loyal core of admirers, Paul Hill is a martyr-to-be whose actions were justified by the Bible. They have maintained a Web site in his honor, with snapshots and ballads.

The Rev. Michael Bray of Bowie, Md., the author of a book that justifies the killing of abortion doctors, said Hill "will be recognized after the fact as the honorable man that he is."

While this is going on, similar clinics are being protected (from organized groups and protesters) around the city of Gainesville where I live since its the closest large city type near where the execution is taking place; its about 30 miles to Starke.
