Paul Hill
Paul Hill was a militant anti-abortion activist who gained notoriety for the assassination of an abortion doctor and clinic volunteer in 1994. He infamously cited Dietrich Bonhoeffer in justifying his actions, likening his violent resistance to abortion to Bonhoeffer's opposition to the Nazi regime, a comparison that has drawn significant criticism from scholars who argue it misrepresents Bonhoeffer's true beliefs.
