Planned Parenthood Caused the Colorado Clinic Shooting, Says State Rep
The new Planned Parenthood facility offers a range of reproductive healthcare, including birth control and abortion services, testing for sexually transmitted disease as well as gynaecological and breast exams. Rick Montanez reports for NBC4’s Today in LA on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2015.
The Colorado Republican State Representative on Monday, just days after a terror attack on a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood left three people dead and nine others injured, took to Facebook to share her thoughts.
Huckabee said if it turned out the shooter was motivated by anti-abortion videos, such as those released by the Center for Medical Progress, then the pro-life community should publicly condemn him.
The man accused in the shooting rampage at a Colorado women’s health care clinic that provides abortions, has made his first court appearance and learned that he will face first-degree murder charges in the deaths of three people killed in the standoff with police.

The idea seems to be that Dear was correct both in his facts about Planned Parenthood’s activities and in his beliefs about the morality of abortion but incorrect in his violent response.
Mayor Lindsey P. Horvath is scheduled to attend.
Planned Parenthood of IN and Kentucky says it has been IN touch with local police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
She also said she was confident he was specifically targeting Planned Parenthood on Friday.

“I would call it a murder”, he said.
Colorado Springs police have declined to disclose any information on a motive for the attack, and a judge ordered the sealing of investigatory court documents at the request of prosecutors.
Gov. John Hickenlooper on Sunday called the shooting “a form of terrorism” and said the United States needs to do more to “keep guns out of the hands of people that are unstable”.
He was arrested in North Charleston on a charge of criminal sexual conduct after a woman said he held a knife to her neck, forced her into her apartment and sexually assaulted her after hitting her in the mouth.
