Emily Rosuck 4th - Planned Parenthood Shooting Creates Political Turmoil

This week, a Planned Parenthood was shot up by Robert L. Dear Jr. , killing 3 and wounding 9. This is the result of incitement of hatred for Planned Parenthood from scientifically ignorant politicians, and it's creating a problem for congress. Multiple Republican candidates, such as Carly Fiorina, Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee have made - FALSE -  claims like "Planned Parenthood harvests baby parts" including - falsely - live fetus' brains, or "they sell body parts like the parts of a Buick." Many Republican political figures have reported that Planned Parenthood has committed criminal acts - profiting from selling body parts, altering abortion procedures to preserve certain organs, even murdering fetuses. 
My first thought is, how could anyone have the audacity to look into the faces of America and make such bold-faced lies? My second thought is, how could America be so stupid as to believe them? While I can't give you an answer to my first question, the answer to my second question is this, ignorance. The public simply doesn't know the truth behind what's actually going on in Planned Parenthood, it definitely isn't murdering fetuses. I got my first clue from the article picture of people protesting PP, and one of the signs being held says "STOP TAXPAYER FUNDING FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD" immediately I know that this person believes anything they hear from whoever they deem credible, which obviously doesn't take much, because taxpayers don't fund PP. In fact, no part of PP is federally funded, not even administration of birth control or pap smears for women. The shooting that happened this week is atrocious and sheds light on the type of people who support the shut down of Planned Parenthood. Insolent, violent, ignorant, monstrous people.
