Criticism and Controversy
The majority of the pro-life movement condemns him. A few do support him such citing him to be a Dietrich Bonhoeffer among these is Rev. Michael Bray and David Miller. The climax of the controversy was at his execution when dozens of death penalty protesters and radical antiabortionists protested together. The sky actually became darkened and began to thunder shortly before his funerals which many radical anti-abortionist cited as the wrath of God for his execution. Among the movement to stop his execution was John Briton's step daughter who said such violence solves nothing.This is the last words of Paul Hill:"The last thing I want to say: If you believe abortion is a lethal force, you should oppose the force and do what you have to do to stop it. May God help you to protect the unborn as you would want to be protected."[2]
