		After spotting Slepian in his kitchen, where the physician was chatting with family members as he heated soup in a microwave oven, Kopp raised his rifle, aimed at the doctor through the window and squeezed the trigger.
		The projectile encountered bone, and took what Kopp referred to as a "crazy ricochet." As doctors were pronouncing Slepian dead of internal injuries a short time later, Kopp was already on the first leg of a three-and-a-half-year flight from justice that took him to Mexico, Ireland and ultimately France.
		Barnett Slepian was shot while warming soup in his home.

	WorldNetDaily: Slepian softens before his death
		Barnett Slepian had not moved nearly as far as Nathanson, but it was clear that he was troubled and searching.
		What troubled Slepian most about his job – and he would speak of these people often and contemptuously – were the women who had come to him for their fourth or fifth abortions.
		Slepian deeply resented these visits to his home, a practice that went under the ironic euphemism, "house calls." Bob Behn, executive director of Last Call Ministries, relates that about two years before his death, Slepian intercepted a small group of house callers as they convened at the parking lot of a nearby drug store.

	Media gave distorted picture of murdered abortionist - Interim, January 1999
		Slepian, assassinated in the kitchen of his stately Amherst, N.Y. mansion, was praised as a dedicated doctor who loved babies, a devoted husband and father, a patron of the arts, and a supporter of women's rights who put his life at risk to serve them.
		The video clips of Slepian's half-million-dollar home - what an objective reporter might call a "throne of blood" - drives home the fact that in a culture of death, Slepian is an icon of respectability, protected by the mediarchy and judicial and political leaders.
		Also notably absent from the coverage of Slepian's murder is the fact that almost exactly one year ago, Slepian invited Bob Behn and his wife, Bonnie, who have sidewalk counselled outside his mills for nearly a decade, to have lunch with him.

		Slepian, they say, "was one of the few physicians with the integrity to stand up for what he believed," slyly suggesting that those many thousands of physicians all across the country who have refused to commit abortions are cowardly; they have not taken up the abortion-cudgel and advanced the cause.

		Slepian, speaking as though from the grave, asserts through an old newspaper clipping that "rosary-holding churchgoers and the bishop" who allows them expression of their sincere religious convictions are liable for acts of force like the one which took his life.
