veritasluxmea Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Recently there was a shooting at Planned Parenthood and three people died, including a pro-life cop. http://thinkprogress.org/health/2015/11/27/3726056/colorado-planned-parenthood-shooting/ if you haven't caught up on it. (Article is ridiculously biased. Says the undercover videos released this summer were "deceptively edited" when the the unedited versions were released and told the same story.) What they write about the cop is honest, however. Anyways, it was a few days ago but it came to my attention again today. Cards Against Humanity recently had a spoof on black Friday where they set up a donation account for themselves and raised around 70k. They split the money between the staff, and the staff posted what they planned to do with it. Several people actually made large donations to Planned Parenthood because of the shooting. The company is "progressive-minded" so it's not terribly surprising, but it still made me feel physically sick. So many people I know- including a trans mtf gay rights activist, religious "noners", and just regular people- just don't support planned parenthood anymore. I do see some students around campus asking for signatures to support PP (they're worried about getting their funding cut). Ironically most of them are male. I've told them (nicely!) I'm prolife and watched them to see if they get a lot of signatures. I haven't actually seen anyone stop to sign the petition. Posting partly because this is current news, partly to express my shock that people actually support planned parenthood, and partly to see who else is planning to attend the March for Life this January. I'm taking time of work and school to go with several female friends of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopefulHeart Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I share your shock over people's support of Planned Parenthood. It makes me sad and angry when I see friends posting online in support of PP. (Of course, my position does not mean that I condone the shooting. It was a tragic incident.)

Ice_nine Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 when will people realize that shooting up or blowing up abortion clinics is counter-productive to their goals? smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didacus Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 The rethoric is dangerously close to calling anyone who is prolife as terrorist supporters. This is act is a tragedy to say the least but it does not give any vindication to PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintOfVirtue Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I thought the official statements had yet to declare a motive? Is it still possible he was just some-crazy and not some-pro-life-crazy or has he made a statement of motive yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the political climate, to the public, he'll be "some-pro-life-crazy" no matter what he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritasluxmea Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/11/29/457756325/what-we-know-about-the-alleged-planned-parenthood-shooter The article doesn't mention on his voting records he was unaffiliated and registered as a woman. I don't think that means anything, probably just really didn't like the government messing with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little2add Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his weapon, and struck the employee of the planed parenthood and killed him. Then Jesus said to him, "Put your weapon away; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least from what I heard, it isn't clear what his goals are. He appears to be just a lone crazy. Apparently, he has no known record of involvement in pro-life groups or activities.

Predictably, the Left is practically dancing with vulturine delight at this murder. It's another opportunity for them to blame and attack all pro-lifers and all opposed to PP or its public funding, as well as renew their demands for more government "gun-control" measures. Never let a killing go to waste -the facts be damned! Those people make me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarysLittleFlower Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I read a very leftist article about this in the paper today. It blamed pro life rhetoric on the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriela Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Today at the gym someone said on tv that # of people had been injured at a PP clinic in Colorado. I thought, "Aren't people 'injured' at PP clinics around the nation every day?" I guess because this "injuring" wasn't "sanctioned" and "controlled", it gets attention.
