This week, a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado Springs suffered a terrorist attack. The shooter, Robert Dear, killed three people and wounded nine. This man had previously been charged with nine criminal filings including personal intrusion, and animal cruelty. He lived in a secluded trailer with his wife, whom he also was allegedly violent towards. After the shootings, Dear held interviews with many sources, and he is quoted talking about "baby parts." This all ties into the argument that Planned Parenthood sells baby parts and should therefore be shut down. This claim is ridiculous because PP doesn't do that, and also because they provide so many other vital services besides abortion- including birth control and other reproductive services.
It's kind of like John Brown's Harper Ferry raid, except for the fact that his raid was against slavery (which is bad), and Robert Dear's terrorist act was against Planned Parenthood (which is good and helpful).

For a second I thought you meant being anti slavery was bad and being anti Planned Parenthood was good.

I know everyone is covering this particular news story for current events but why would you put up his mugshot nice and large for everyone to see. This man should be condemned but giving such a terrible person a the recognition he doesn't deserve it's wrong. We should be recognizing those who lost there life in the shooting. A cop, a mother of two and an army vet. Finally you can trace this hate back to a source. When trying to take down planned parenthood a couple of radical republicans put out a false story saying they were selling baby fetus parts this stirred up a lot of hate and can be traced to a lot of backlash these days.
