So I called Comcast corporate at this number: 215-665-1700. I spoke with an executive assistant of the president and said I no longer want to support Fox channel in any way because they incite murder, sedation, and hate. And that I want to opt out of receiving FOX. She was receptive and I will receive a call back today.<br /> Lets find out what would happen if all readers called their cable corporations and did the same.

Abortion Doctor Killed by Sniper in Upstate N.Y.

By JOHN J. GOLDMAN, TIMES STAFF WRITER
October 25, 1998

NEW YORK — A prominent abortion practitioner was shot and killed while sitting in his kitchen in upstate New York on Friday night by a sniper who waited in the shadows outside the house. The killing of Dr. Barnett Slepian, 52, who became the first fatality in a series of attacks on doctors in the area since 1994, set off a manhunt Saturday that extended into Canada.

Slepian, who once proclaimed, “The more that they come after me, the more I will dig in,” was killed only days after authorities had warned clinics of possible attacks.

Slepian had returned from Friday night services at a synagogue when the sniper, hiding near the swimming pool in Slepian’s backyard in Amherst, N.Y., fired the fatal shot from a high-powered rifle.

continued…

This is an example of missionary zeal.
