Anti-abortion protesters shoot doctor outside Florida clinic

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - An abortion
opponent shot to death a doctor during a demon-
stration outside his abortion clinic yesterday,
then calmly surrendered, police and witnesses
said.
It was the first fatality ever reported at an
abortion protest, abortion-rights activists said.
Dr. David Gunn was shot in the chest several
times as he got out of his car at the Pensacola
Women's Medical Services clinic he operated,
police Sgt. Jerry Potts said. Gunn died in
surgery at a hospital two hours later.

At the time of the shooting, a dozen anti-
abortion protesters were gathered in front of the
clinic, Potts said.
Michael Griffin of Pensacola was arrested
and charged with murder, Potts said.
Potts refused to confirm the shooting was
abortion-related. "I don't want to speculate, but
it occurred while a protest was going on," he
said.
Don Treshman, head of the Houston-based
anti-abortion group Rescue America, said Grif-
fin told the doctor, "Don't kill any more babies!"

just before shooting him at about 10 a.m. He said
several members of Rescue America attended
the protest and called him afterward.
The shooting came at a time when abortion-
rights activists have reported new tactics by
opponentsagainstclinics, such as noxious chemi-
cals.
In San Diego this week, anti-abortion activ-
ists sprayed five clinics with a foul-smelling
substance, police said.
Although clinics have been bombed and
abortion providers threatened with death, noone

has ever been slain at an abortion protest, says
Sara Pines, a spokesperson for the National
Abortion Rights Action League.
"We'll call on Congress to immediately en-
act the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances
bill to combat anti-choice terrorism and enact
the Freedom of Choice Act to guarantee Ameri-
can women their legalrlight to choose," NARAL's
president, Kate Michelman, said in a statement
after the shooting.
"What we expected to do was get run out
when the law was called," said John Burt, who

led the protest. "Then all of a sudden I heard four
shots and a fire truck and an ambulance pulled
up.
Police said the weapon appeared to be a.38-
caliber snub-nosed revolver.
There was only one clinic performing abor-
tions in Pensacola until about a month ago when
Gunn opened his clinic, Burt said. The doctor
lived in nearby Eufaula, Ala.
In January, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled
that federal judges cannot stop protesters from
trying to block access to clinics.

"Less than 10 percent of your stu-

Continuing the discussion over MSA
