How The Abortion Rights Movement Is Going To Turn Colorado Into A Rallying Cry
Buzz Feed News ^ | November 29, 2015 | Evan McMorris-Santoro and Tarini Parti

WASHINGTON — This week, abortion rights activists are going to use tough language and modern political tactics to make the shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Friday into a political moment they say will put abortion opponents on the defensive after a year that has seen them score a number of political victories against legal and accessible abortion.

That means abortion rights supporters using the word “terrorism” to describe what happened in Colorado Springs. That means confronting pro-life Republicans and asking them about what activists call “a culture of violence” directed toward abortion providers. And that means trying to engage Democratic allies in Washington to do the same — something that prominent Democrats like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz have already done — in the hopes, particularly, of turning a byzantine Senate vote as early as this week into a political opportunity for Democrats on the abortion issue....

Well, now we know why the records were sealed on the shooting.

They can use all the tactics they want. They can have Democrat politicians and the media in their pocket. They can instill fear in cowardly Republicans. What they can’t do is hide the fact they’re supporting the slaughter of human babies every single day of the year.

No one inside the clinic was hurt. If you don’t count all the dead babies.

Some woman pastor from some Church of What’s Happening Now or some such crap said “We have to ask ‘why?’” I think it could be because God is mad at them for killing babies.

Could that be why the shooting occurred?

“going to”? Has. It’s going to be a nightmare. And Cruz calling the pyscho a “leftist transgender” if going to play horribly.

Do we have anyone smart left? If not, we are utterly screwed.

There is so much Conservatism has to offer and it is being buried beneath a mountain of ignorance.

They’re not just slaughtering them but with zeal fueled by getting enriched off of infant body parts.

I saw the comment from Cruz as being mocking of the reporter.

He was dismissing the hearsay of an anonymous person as being on the same level as those who were claiming the guy is a leftist, transgendered activist.

YMMV

Let's bring out the videos of the murdered babies for parts.

Let's bring out the testimonies of former workers of pp and hear their stories of what actually happens in these murder mills.

Let's bring out the numbers of babies murdered.

Let's show the pictures of the victims of pp...yes, I mean the very graphic and tragic pictures.

Yes...let's have this discussion with the left on their insistence on the murder of the unborn child.

"Violence against doctors or clinics providing abortion services has claimed the lives of at least 11 people in the United States since 1993."

11 (eleven) killed since 1993 is many? That sounds more like the death toll over a warm summer weekend in Chicago.

The media is attempting to falsely link Dear to the Pro-Life Movement and Conservatism and the Obama government will call this shooting “Terrorism” and use it as an excuse to monitor Pro Life Activists as if they were suspected terrorists.

Major Hasan killed more than 11 people at Fort Hood in one day and Obama won't call it terrorism. The Colorado shooting was workplace violence too.

The Left saw how they could exploit the shooting in Charleston to attack anything associated with the Confederacy, so they will use the same playbook to exploit this incident.

The left and their media lapdogs are overplaying their abortion card and climate change. Recent events have considerably changed peoples concerns and priorities. And more than likely, more events will happen that will move those issues further to the edge of the radar screen.

The Republican race is a perfect example of how being right on the true concerns of voters is affecting the candidates polling.
