Abortion Doctor Killer Set To Be Executed

HeadlineSep 03, 2003

In Florida today, abortion doctor killer Paul Hill is scheduled to be executed for the 1994 killing of Doctor John Britton and his security escort James Barrett. He is to become the first person in U.S. history to be executed for killing an abortion provider.

Hill has been unrepentant saying “I expect a great reward in heaven. I am looking forward to glory. I don’t feel remorse. . . . People have asked me if I would do it again; if I was put in a similar circumstance, I believe I would act similarly.”
