"Pro Lifers" Actually Celebrated The Act Of Terror In Colorado

[HuckleB]

“Pro-Lifers” Take to Twitter to Praise Planned Parenthood Shooter
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2015/11/28/pro-lifers-take-to-twitter-to-praise-planned-parenthood-shooter/

"While the majority of the country is expressing sympathy to the victims of the Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shooting, there are those who are so despicable, they’re praising the acts of this domestic terrorist that left 3 dead and 9 injured.

...

Yes, pro-lifers have found the silver lining. You can call them utilitarians, but to assume they’re contemplative, rather than motivated by blood-thirst, may be giving them too much credit. According to a select group of Twitter-dwelling anti-abortionists, the violence carried out by a man wielding an AK-type gun at a women’s health facility yesterday actually did more good than harm if you’re counting the number of abortions he prevented while interrupting the day’s services.

According to Planned Parenthood, 3% of what they do is abortion services. The majority is contraception, STD screenings, and routine care. Statistically, it’s far more likely that someone will have to go a few more days wondering if that rash is something to worry about than being unable to obtain an abortion.

Robert Lewis Dear indiscriminately killed three people who were already established in the world — not knowing their stance on abortion, not caring if his victims had families, giving no consideration to life. He is anti-life no matter how you spin it. Tweeting support, or justification, for his actions makes you no less of a monster.

1. Again, life only matters to them while inside the womb

Once it's outside, not so much.

5. It's not about "life" of any kind. It's about bronze-age patriarchal control of women.

Women are for serving their patriarch, and popping out babies. That's what this is all about.

6. They don't even give a fuck about it then

You don't see forced-birthers marching in areas of the US with 3rd world infant mortality rates.

Respect for life has exactly shit to do with it and is nothing more than a trojan horse used to force puritanical dogma on the masses.

3. I just finished writing my RW Tea Party

two term, anti government (life time govt employee), ex military, lawyer, douche bag congressman from a gerrymandered district, who is going to run for the senate to replace Rubio. Congratulated him and his party for their successful propaganda campaign against Planned Parenthood. Pointed out how his hateful rhetoric and divisiveness have incited a maniac to commit domestic terrorism. Told him not to try and wash the blood off his hands because he owns it now.
I hope that all of you on DU will do the same to your own congressman, make them own this.

4. Thank you and

I will.

[Gloria]

12. I will....Steve Pearce, creep/Tea Party asshole

who just had his brother who lives in TX try to take over our town....second attempt at outside money,first, trying to recall just elected council people, and just this month, going after the mayor. Ever since Martinez was elected gov., NM has been a playground for the TX crowd....she brought in the Ed. Sec. (no experience in teaching) who had worked with BUSH II.

NM is supposed to become a colony of TX.....and Steve Pearce and his brother, the oil guys from the eastern part of the state, are mucking around here....

It's pretty upsetting....is there NO PLACE SAFE from the influence of these rightwing, religious shitheads and the overbearing influence of TEX--ASS???

[Gloria]

16. I just wrote to this piece of crap ....

I did pick up some of your ideas, and the ones about the national Christian database from another post here...

and finished off with this...


You are a real piece of

work....part of an ugly, regressive party of ignorant people

without souls. I have checked of that I don't require a

response...I don't want to read what canned letter you send

out as conjured up by the GOP...

[Hepburn]

19. My congress critter is, thank gawd, Maxine Waters.

But...I do applaud what you did!

[Warren Stupidity]

7. We need a national database of all christians

so we can identify the ones likely to be terrorists. We also need to stop the flood of Christian immigrants pouring across our borders. I'm sure Trump Cruz Carson and a whole boatload of chickenshit Democrats will be joining me in advocating these simple measures to keep us safe.

[elmac]

9. Agreed

they and their rightwing GOP puppets are the biggest terrorist threat this country has ever faced.

[niyad]

10. would seem to be the appropriate response.

people have failed to understand why I have said for decades that it isn't the fundies of islam or others across the seas who worry me, but the xian fundie nutbars in THIS country. I haven't gotten death threats from the others, but I have gotten death threats from the xians. it isn't the muslim fundies who killed dr. tiller, dr. slepian, who are responsible for all the clinic attacks (including the anthrax), etc. it isn't the muslim fundies who are writing all the laws restricting women's rights in this country. but, we are told time and again to, basically, shut up, because we don't have it as bad as women in other countries.

[meow2u3]

13. Hey, wait a minute!

I'm Christian, Catholic to be exact, and you want to put my name on a terrorist database?! I'm no RWNJ, I'm one of you!

[niyad]

8. just reading the comments on the local news sites is bad enough, but yes, celebrating

that PP was targeted.

11. One of my favorites:

If she aborts your baby you gotta kidnap her after she leaves the clinic and then proceed to aborting her future. See how her parents feel.

14. Hey, Mr. Trump!

If you're looking for a despicable display of people celebrating a terrorist attack, perhaps today would be a good day to look around.

[Hepburn]

18. OMG...

...I am speechless.

[Rex]

20. Of course they did. Their morality is conditional. Just like their reality.

Delusional idiots like anti-vaxxers.
