In Birmingham and across the Alabama Pensacola area, doctors, nurses, and staff arm themselves with guns and alarms as threats rise. The shooter deaths of Dr. Gunn and Dr. Britton anchor a broader, deadly trend, with antiabortion extremists justifying lethal action to defend fetuses.
David Gunn Jr., 23, has emerged as a national spokesman for abortion rights following his father Dr. David Gunn's 1993 murder outside a Pensacola clinic. Once a quiet University of Alabama at Birmingham student, he now appears in ads, lectures, and rallies, urging protection of doctors and patients amid ongoing clinic protests and violence linked to anti abortion extremism.
A compilation lists those slain or wounded in abortion clinic attacks from 1993 to 1994. Names include Shannon Lowney and Leanne Nichols, both Brookline receptionists, killed December 30 1994, with others wounded. Suspect John Salvi I faces first degree murder charges after December 31 arrest following Norfolk shootings. Also cited are Dr Garson Romalis in Vancouver, John Bayard Britton and James Barrett in Florida, Dr George Tiller in Wichita, and Dr David Gunn with related sentences for involved assailants. The piece notes broader harassment and legal outcomes surrounding anti abortion violence.
