create a climate of violence
Moore said she was "horrified and
very saddened by • senseless act of
violence ”
"To try and stop violence by com
mitting an act of violence does not
stop it at all." she said.
Oregon Right To Lile is committed
to non-violent means of getting its
message out. she said, and the group
takes a two fold approach of educa
tion and polittsual activism In its anti
abortion efforts
“Right To Life is only one of the
anti-abortion organizations, although
we ail tend to get lumped together,
she said "Our group condemns vio
lence We discourage anyone from
being involved in any illegal activity.
And. in fact, we prohibit anyone who
holds a position in our group from
participating in any illegal activity."
Sheklow said no abortion provider
in the country feel* safe and the local
center has greatly increased security
measures recently Anyone who enters
the clinic must show photo idanlifica
tion. video cameras are in place and
the staff has received bomb squad
training.
Sheklow said she is concerned
uliout an escalation in violence against
local ( linns
Among the bumper stickers and
signs that people have displayed
while protesting the center are,"open
season on abortionists." "your clin
ics'* days are numbered." and "exe
cute abortionists and murderers,"
Sheklow said
Piercy said she believes pro-choice
legislation may exacerbate violent
behavior on the part of the anti-abor
tion activists who feel like they arc
"losing the battle."
SHOOTING
Continued from Page 1
Michael Frederick Griffin, once descrilied by his wife
ns suffering "great fils of violence." was charged with
murder and ordered held without bond.
' At this time we have no evidence to indicate a con
spiracy exists." police Sgt. Jerry Potts said. "The case is
not dosed, but I can't say we anticipate additional
arrests,”
In Washington, several national groups urged an FBI
investigation of "anti-choice violence, and President
Clinton deplored the shooting.
"As a nation committed to rule of law. we cannot allow
violent vigilantes to restrict the rights of American
women." the president said in the statement. "No person
seeking medical care, and no physician providing that
i.are. should have to endure harassment, threats or intim
idation."
The shooting, abortion rights advocates said, is indica
tive of growing extremism in the anti-abortion move
ment.
The government needs to ensure that vigilantes, ter
rorists and religious extremists do not take away our
basic right to choose." said Kate Michelman. president of
die National Abortion Rights Action League.
Via a television hookup between the jail and the
Escambia County Courthouse. Griffin asked Judge
William J. Green for a blanket and a Bible for his cell.
"I would like to keep my Bible as one of my legal doc
uments," Griffin said. Green referred him to jail admin
istrators. who wouldn’t comment on the requests. Griffin
also asked to represent himself, but the judge didn't rule
on that request.
The slaying wasn't the first time Pensacola has been
the site of anti-abortion violence.
On Christmas Day in 1984, abortion foes bombed two
doctors' offices and a clinic that had been bombed earli
er that year. Four people were convicted.
In March 1986. six protesters were arrested after they
stormed into the same clinic, damaging equipment and
injuring two women. One was John Burt, a leader of
Wednesday's protest at Gunn’s clinic.
Gunn, who lived in Eufaula. Ala., also performed ul>or
tions at clinics in Alabama and Georgia, commuting by
plane.
"Me was such a caring, compassionate physician." said
k.H kohls, director of Beacon ^omen's Center in Mont
gomery. Ala., where Gunn worked. "These women real
ly do feel like he gave his life for them."
RAPIST

if they are more likely now than two months ago to
In* raped in the Kugune-Springfteld area, as it
seems ttiat rapes are happening more and more.''
Collier said.
Collier pointed out that while this current fear is
based on stranger rape. H5 percent of sexual
assaults am perpetrated by an offender who knows
the victim.
“The real danger is from people known to vic
tims.'' Collier said 'Only 2 percent of people who
are raped by people they know report rapes."
National Self Defense consultant Nadia Telsey
said women should learn how to avoid an assault
It is important for women to be able to make t hoic
es when faced by an attacker — based on an
assessment of their physical skills and information
alioul the assailant, Telsey said
"I think wh need tu make decisions based on
intuition. Telsey said. "Whnt’s most important
is that every situation is different."
Telsey also said women must loam how to use
self-defense tools. Pepper spray is probably the
most effective self-defense device, as opposed to
whistles and alarms. Telsey said. However, she
said, women need to realize the spray alone won t
stop n rape.
"The point is to spray and get away." Telsey
said. "It's a tool and not on answer."
Poppy said within the past two months. 4 sex
ual assaults have been reported to the police
department Although the number is comparable
to last year's reported rape count, the problem is
rising, he said.
"There's no reason to feel safe," Poppy said, "It s
an ongoing problem, that's my concern."
