 I thought you might all find this illuminating.  It comes
 from the January 20th, 1998, issue of The Sacramento Bee,
 page A8, column 5:

 Sheriff Defends Letter

    A doctor who wrote to the sheriff for help against
 anti-abortion demonstrators was branded a "baby killer" and
 told law officers would "do everything within our power to
 assist the protesters."

    Interviewed Monday, Lee County Sheriff John McDougall
 defended his reply to Dr. Ali Azima.

    "Sometimes you have to take a stand.  Everybody's worried
 about the manatees and endangered species, but it's like to
 hell with the babies," McDougall said.

    In his letter, Azima said: "If I am called `baby killer,'
 I would like to know which baby I have killed -- and more
 importantly to question the neglect of your department that
 is not persecuting someone for killing a baby!"

    In his letter, McDougall stated he would protect all from
 illegal activity -- "even a baby killer like yourself."  He
 said his office would "do everything within our power to
 assist the protestors who wish to protect the misguided
 mothers who come to your clinic of death."

    Three slayings took place outside two clinics in
 Pensacola in 1993 and 1994.
