This time around I received the fallowing list of leads:
·1994 killing of Dr. John Britton
·Dr. Jack Fainman
·www.au.org/cs1993.htm
·Life Dynamics
·Matt Trewhella
·Joan Andrews Bell
I had a much easier time finding these ones then the list I had previously. I came up with endless web sites and information on most of these leads. I did however have a difficult time finding books and magazines.
1994 Killing Of Dr. John Britton
I did not find too much information on this doctor. The main information was on the general doctor killings. He was shot July 29, 1994 outside his clinic in Pensacola Florida along with Dr. James Barrett and his wife June Barrett. Both John and James died. Paul Hill was proven guilty of the act and is now facing a death sentence.
www.wlo.org
Dr. Jack Fainman
Doctor fainman is from Winnipeg, Canada. He was 66 years old on November 11, 1997 when he was shot by a sniper in his home through a window. It was the third related murder in Canada in a span of four years. Although Jack did not die he is still recovering from the shot to his shoulder. All of the sites I found had a lot of information , not only on my leads. November 8, 1994 Garson Romalis was shot in Vancouver at the age of 57 by a sniper from his home as well. November 10, 1995 The hamilton Doctor Hugh Short had a smilar attack at the age of 62 which has left him permantly disabled. All this information was on the site
www.caral.ca/pages/winter98.htm
Another site which had more basic information on those three shootings in Canada, but with nothing related to religion was:
www.cma.ca/cmaj/vol-159/issue-9/1153.htm
On this site It again speaks of the three shootings. It has newspaper clippings. It speaks of anti-abortion radicals, army of god(u.s), 99 ways to stop abortion ect.
www.prochoiceconnection.com/pro-can/9798win.html#shoot
The next site I checked out was a good one. It had all kinds of stuff on it. For example the Butyric attack in Edmonton on November 12, 1996. I found out that Butyric acid is a toxic , foul-smelling chemical that is very difficult to eradicate once it has invaded a clinic. It said that for the Canadian shootings there were two sketches made up of the suspected shooters. One was identified as Brian Zacharias an anti-choice activist. He had also ran for family coalition party and christian heritage. The site also pointed out that the Campaign life Coalition uses poppies on its posters that say "war against unborn" and "remember the un-born" It is very fishy that they use this symbol as all the Canadian shootings have been done on or around rememberance day. The site mentions Everywomans health center (dec 29)
Christian militia group, the right to life group and tons more.
www.cais.com/agm/main/aog.htm
This site mentions a lot of the key terms . It talks about James Kopp- how he is on the ten most wanted list and there is a one million dollar reward out for his arrest. As well as the death of Dr. Slepian October 23, 1998 in New York. The unknown physician, Fainman (obviously) , Short, Romalis, Army of God and recent violence incidents.

Same again at
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/abortviolence/timeline.htm
Life Dynamics
I didnt find as much information on Life Dynamics as I owuld have liked to but I did find some. The first site on this I looked at had info on Kopp, more on Sleppian but the main thing was that it helped me to understand what Life dynamics is. Its a non-profit, pro-life organization based in Denton, Texas. Known for thier Abortion Malpractice Litigation (ABMAL)
www.ldi.org
One more site was just one talking of the shootings and it explains spies for life but there are no human events
www.naral.org/mediasources/fact/dynamics.htm/
Matt Trewhella
The information on Matt Trewhella was overwhelming.First I looked at this excerpt from a newsweek magazine issue August 29, 1994 by Melinda Lui. He is a pastor and a co-founder of missionaries to the pre-born (a Milwaukee anti-abortion group) He is very oppinionated and had many websites and interviews. "This christmas I want you to do the most loving thing. I want you to buy each of your children an sks riffle and 500 rounds of ammunition" This astounded me. He then goes on to say he wouldn't kill though. (ya right is the thought going through my head at that point) He talks of of Dr. Brittons murder. And that he signed a statement declaring that Michael Griffin had commited a "Justifiable Homicide" in the 1993 killing of David Gunn, and Paul Hill.
www.rickross.com/reference/a-abortion/a-abortion1.htm/
This next one is a interview with Trewhella. He says "If we all will take on a little responsibility to see this abortion outlawed, then we wouldn't see men running around shooting abortionists. Because abortion will be outlawed" In this interview they speak of James Kopp, the milwaukee center of the malitia move and missionaries to the pre-born. Matt also says "The abortionist is killing an innocent person who has done nothing to him or her. I can see why they would do it."
www.tv.cbc.ca/national/pgminfolabortion/thou2.html
This site talks about and shows us pictures of the killed babies. It talks on how they are an effective way of showing people what is really happening.
www.bgnews.com/vnews/display.v/art/2001/10/05/3bbdbb9cc7fc9
This contains protests, and pictures. As well as Matt Trewhella, info on him, stats, work ,goals.
www.prolife.org/prolife/matthew-trewhekka.htm
Another one with basically the same info, but this one with a press release.
www.afa.net/clp/bjbpr032901.asp
Here we have anti-choice extremists. "Justifiable Homicide" an official declaration of murder. Speaks of guys like Paul Hill, David Gunn, David Trosch, Tom Carleton.
www.plannedparenthood.org/politicalarena/declaration%20murder.html
The last one I looked at was again basically identical , well with comments.
www.lifeadvocate.com/3-99/comment3.htm
Joan Andrews Bell
Joan was put in prison originally for a non violent rescue in Pitsburg of 1985. She was placed in solitary confinement for months at a time. This site contained a a letter written by a priest to distribute awarness for her. She has just recently (well according to the website) began another prison sentence for refusing to cooperate and tell the judge that she would no longer take part in any rescue missions.
www.domestic-church.com/content.dcc/19980701/undctn/joanbell.htm
This next site was a letter to the judge that put Joan away . But this letter was also from David Trosh (a preist) another one of our leads.
www.trosch.org/wri/novak.htm
The final site I went to was a column by Judy Rebrick it not only spoke of Andrews Bell but also of Romalis
www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/columns/rebick/rebick000713.htm/
Overall like I said I found a lot of information and tons of websites...I could not however fing the periodicals or magazines that Sarah B. had mentioned previously besides one issue online of newsweek.
