President Bush and Secretary of State Colin ment have denounced the calls for violence. Most abortion clinics in Florida reached by The Associated Press on Wednesday declined comment. McKenzie said security is high at their clin ics, but they are particularly cau tious now because of Hill’s call for people to follow his actions. “The bottom line is when you work in the industry you’re aware those people are out there every single day,” she said. Inspired by the 1993 shooting death of another abortion doctor in Pensacola, Hill purchased a shotgun and went to a gun range to practice. The morning of the murder, as Britton and the Barretts entered the clinic parking lot, Hill shot James Barrett in the head and upper body. He then reloaded and Fired again, hitting Britton in the head and ami. June Barrett was wounded in the arm. Hill put down the shotgun because he did not want to get shot by police and walked away. When officers arrested him without incident, he said, “I know one thing, no innocent babies are going to be killed in that clinic today.” Hill was the 57th inmate exe cuted since Florida resumed executions in 1979 and the third in Florida this year. Powell agreed Tuesday to move forward with a new U.N. resolution in an effort to attract more foreign contributions to postwar Iraq, three senior administration officials said on condition of anonymity. Powell and his aides will begin talking about the new resolution in coming days with key members of the Security Council whose support is critical: close ally Britain, as well as France and Russia.
