The following press release by Wisconsin Right to Life appropriately condemns those who honor Paul Hill, a murderer who claimed to be doing the will of God when he killed an abortionist in 1994.
Wisconsin Right to Life has learned that four groups, who wrongly call themselves "pro-life, will be in Milwaukee from July 26-29 to honor Paul Hill, a terribly misguided individual who was executed in Florida for murdering abortionist John Britton in 1994.It is hard to believe that anyone would honor Hill, a man who was excommunicated by his church and executed for committing the most odious of crimes.
The three day event is being called "Paul Hill Days" and will include an "reenactment of 7-29-1994," (referring to an reenactment of the murder of Britton by Hill thirteen years ago on that date.)
"It is terrifying that a 'reenactment' of the murder will take place in our state. It should be condemned by pro-life people of good will everywhere," said Barbara Lyons, Executive Director for Wisconsin Right to Life. "Wisconsin Right to Life has consistently spoken out against violent individuals like Paul Hill who inappropriately use the name of the pro-life movement in carrying out their deplorable acts."
The organizations sponsoring "Paul Hill Days" are
"Paul Hill Memorial," "Children Need Heroes," "Street Preach," and Pro-Life Virginia.
The pro-life movement is guided by the belief that each and every human life has intrinsic value and that the efforts to protect human life should be carried out in a peaceful, legal, non-violent manner.
Paul Hill Days has shut down Milwaukee Planned Parenthood until after July 29. Has your organziation even come close to shutting down a babykilling abortion mill even one day? NO. Quit being a hypocrite.
Paul Hill Days are a good idea. Paul Hill saved many helpless babies from being murdered by that babykilling abortionist. For this, I believe Paul Hill is a True American Hero
SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life.
"Has your organziation even come close to shutting down a babykilling abortion mill even one day" - Wow, usually it's the pro-aborts who write this type of immaterial nonsense: presenting a fallacious argument by calling others a hypocrite for not achieving X or solving Y. This is also a form of moral pragmatism that is quite contrary to the Law of God, which is quite clear on the issue of murder.
Paul Hill took upon himself godlike power when he decided to "save" babies by taking up the power of the sword against others. His action was nothing less than a lawless and man-centered revolution under the perverse guise of "saving babies". It pains me to see those who claim the name of Jesus Christ honor a man for action that was dishonoring to God.
I'm very glad to see this post. I was hoping to go to Milwaukee and protest this event in person, but I'm not sure I can get away from home for that long right now because of my new baby. I was thinking about organizing a blogswarm against violence instead, to show that real pro-lifers are united against the terrorists. If I do, may I ask you to help publicize it? I don't have a lot of readers yet. :)
