A crazed gunman opened fire at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic on Friday, killing three people and wounding nine.
Before the victims were even identified, pro-abortion activists were using the tragedy in an attempt to win sympathy for their cause.
In a statement issued shortly after the shooting, Planned Parenthood attempted to lay the blame for the shooting at the feet of anti-abortion groups, and claimed the tragedy was fueled by “hateful rhetoric.”
But much of the mainstream media’s – and Planned Parenthood’s – reporting about the shooting has been filled with half-truths and outright lies meant to demonize the pro-life movement. Here are just three that they hoped you’d never learn about.
Lie #1: The shooter was politically motivated
While alleged gunman Robert Lewis Dear reportedly made a reference to “baby parts” to authorities – a fact that was seized upon by Planned Parenthood and its allies – he wasn’t exactly a seasoned political operative. In fact, by most accounts, he is insane.
Much of what Dear said to police was reportedly rambling and disjointed. Neighbors who lived near Dear’s remote cabin said they never heard him talk about abortion or religion, but he appeared to be mentally disturbed.
Dear is apparently deeply troubled, and throughout his life has been accused of everything from domestic assault to animal cruelty to being a peeping tom.
Lie #2: Planned Parenthood employees and patients were specifically targeted
Dear seems to have fired more or less indiscriminately during his siege. But none of the three people killed were Planned Parenthood employees or patients. One victim was a Gulf War veteran, Ke’Arre Stewart, who was just using a cell phone outside the clinic. And the police officer who was slain while responding to the attack, Garrett Swasey, was actually a devoutly Christian pastor at a local church.
Lie #3: Pro-life Republican candidates refused to denounce the shooting
Several GOP presidential hopefuls including Donald Trump, Mike Huckabee and Carly Fiorina spoke out against the shooting, with Trump even calling Dear a “maniac.”
Lie #4: Planned Parenthood would not attempt to politicize the tragedy
It looks like America’s largest abortion provider has every intention of turning Friday’s shooting into a cash windfall. Celebrities and Planned Parenthood supporters like model Chrissy Teigen put out a call for donations for the group. And just two days after the tragedy, Planned Parenthood Action Group — a fundraising arm of the organization — published a tweet asking followers to sign a petition that would put them on a fundraising email list.

Has anyone looked to see if he was paid to do this and by whom?
Pam Ela says
He look bats!te crazy. Maybe this is one the 48 inmates released by O’Satan. Anything for the cause. Hellary and Huessin won’t be happy until they can disarm us all for when they unleash thousands and thousands of refugee/terrorists upon us. Paris should be a lesson to us all. Support the NRA. Vote Republican. And never ever give up your protection!!!
Pam Ela says
….sorry for the typo ‘looks’. Yes I am an American.

With a name like Pam Ela? You sound like a commie. We’ll need to see your papers. Very suspicious.

Moe are you one of the three stooges? You sound like it.
Sal says
Moe Verna doesn’t sound American. Are you one of those Canadians that let 19
terrorists into my country and then caused 9/11?
Bill G says
What dope on a rope. Americans are concerned about thier lives as much as any. When these nut cases go off they always do it in places where the gun laws are to the max. Plus sycho man seems drugged out of his mind! Realize this took him a while to get like this. He didn’t just snap while having a danish and coffee one morning. But of course libtards and MSNBC and CNN dopes just make it up as they go – whats new? If you ask me they are the ones that are right at the point of insanity.
moe p says
Hey Pam, Are you Russian or Chinese?! Your English does not sound American. But if you are a proud American, please learn your language properly and speak the truth not what your heart tells you to mumble. And in order to communicate effectively do not be angry when communicating and do not show hatred towards others in your speech. Bless your heart sweetie!
Sal says
Is Moe short for Mohammed?
Moe Verner says
Na’am.
Bill G says
So Moe is a foriegner. His english is equally poor. You place conjugats befor sentances and prepositions out of order. Your tense use of english is, well, wrong. Aside from that Pam seems to be very cool and very American. A patriot really. She most definitely believes in the US Constitution. I’m not so sure of you Moe. I like all of the articles and amendments of the US Constitution, but truely the second amendment keeps us safe.

“Never give up your protection”, you say……RIGHT!!..never give up you gun!…make them pry it from your cold dead hand!! If someone there had been armed (other than the Policeman) maybe not as many would have been killed or wounded! What say ya’ll?
Bill G says
Right on Jerry!!!
Fierce Look says
Could it be Obama’s illegitimate son? I wouldn’t doubt if he was not used by this communist, satanic regime as more than likely some of these other shooters could have been used – farfetched, I think no; any regime that would support and legislate the killing of babies for parts – as if they were car parts – and impart voluntary euthanasia, which down the road will be forced euthanasia, will stop at nothing to achieve their totalitarian, satanic One World Government in which they replace our true God with their satanic god – Lucifer! Sheeple had better awaken to the reality that we are in a battle of GOOD against EVIL and right now GOOD is getting it’s ass kicked! REVOLUTION will be the SOLUTION, Armr===========================? mInr, NSA!

US Armed Forces: ARMED REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE. I think it’s time we realized that we are also entitled to militias. When faced with such unmitigated, self-serving, vice-driven functional illiterates (who would actually say “Well, you’re just gonna have to kill us”) who have nothing but their self- indulgent persecution complexes in the form of cash cows, then it would seem to me time to talk of justifiable homicide. Why should we continue to let them persecute us with their war of “nerves” while they promote a literal genocide of innocent souls.
Whatever says
We are certainly entitled to militias, however, considering this regime is not following our United States Constitution or Bill of Rights, I would say we are going to have to consider something along the lines of what the Revolutionists did back in the day. Houston…we have a very serious problem!
Our country has been hijacked and while takeover has not been fully completed, if we do not join together as a nation and oust the whole bunch out of Washington, DC and do not vote with where we spend our $$$ against the filthy rich corporations and the people who have their $$$ in them, we are in much bigger trouble than what we are just beginning to see as a nation. Shoot, some still do not see it at all. (Very scary!)
We do need to fight like crazy to maintain our right to keep and bear arms. We need to exercise our freedom of speech and worship. We also need to stop funneling $$$ into the hands of those who have wiped out the middle class. We do that by where we spend our money. We also need to wake these Laodiceans up! (not sure I spelled that correctly)
However, in closing, I have to say that this is Biblical and God’s Will shall be done, also. We need to pray for our nation because God is in control, not Obama, not Hillary, not Bernie. God is in control and He hears our prayers.
kayjay says
You stand with planned parenthood against violence and extremist acts? HUH???? Behind Planned Parenthood’s doors are extremist acts and violence against unborn children you nit wit.
William White says
I blame a whole lot on our voting citizens, who knowing that Obama was a strong follower of the Abortion industry, voted him in to the White House . Of course, the Abortion industry supported his election campaign. The man that
attacked the abortion center was sick; The people killing unborn babies in order to harvest their parts, are sick in their hearts, and totally evil! I bet there’s not a Christian among them.
ArribaPosts says
The services offered by PP are between the Doctor and the Patient and none of your business. Yes I agree that PP should not be funded with taxpayer funds. It should be included in all health insurance plans – even the unAffordable Care Act.
Linda Thomas says
It still is murder – taking another human being’s life – no matter WHAT stage of life that is! Next thing with this Administration will be killing the elderly in Nursing homes to pay for the “Abortion Clinics” – oh I mean “Planned Parenthood” clinics.
Peter says
Planned Parenthood is perpetrating a War of “nerves” on INSUBORDINATES to their “party line”. They are literally “driving ’em insane WITH PLEASURE” anyone who speaks out against “Roe vs Wade”. Believe me it’s true. My sister (had the galling nerve) arranged a pregnancy in the 1970’s to make a hit with her girl friends. Guess what? The father was SON of THE CHIEF OF POLICE in a Jersey town. I spent 20 years in psych therapy with so-called “anger management” issues: because of THE ABOVE and related issues thanks to the coercion and slanderous persuasion (they claimed THEIR lives were threatened by me and I didn’t even live in the same area: what a few choice “phone calls” will do). Believe me it looks like he’s been demonized by Planned Parenthood. Not that they deserve to be slaughtered by in my mind they are guilty of perpetrating a genocide.
Whatever says
I so agree with you but, have family members and co-workers that think otherwise. They are totally liberal and I am totally conservative. They believe it is not a child until it is born. We can argue all day but, in the end, some people really believe or have convinced themselves it is not a baby until it is born. We all know this is totally wrong and if anyone ever watched the video of “Silent Scream” before that was silenced, there is not even a doubt it is murder of the most tender.
The three month old unborn baby was desperately trying to move closer to the mother inside the womb and was afraid before it was ripped apart. It screamed in agonizing pain and fear and you could see it plain as day in its little face. Yes, it was a little baby. Advocates of pro-choice of course came back stating this was inaccurate…yaddah, yaddah, yaddah. And, we all now know why because abortion is a money maker for Planned Parenthood.
Watch for yourself if you choose and decide but, I have to warn you these are so incredibly graphic it is horribly disturbing. Anyone who can watch these and NOT call it murder is pretty sick in my opinion. It is definitely murder.

Eclipse of Reason – Third Trimester Abortion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_of_Reasonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_of_Reason
This guy in this article has lost his mind, no doubt. Planned Parenthood and Democrats are using this to their bloody and dirty advantage. We desperately need to stop funding them but, sadly enough due to the way some people think, abortions will continue anyway with or without Planned Parenthood but, we should never fund them.
As Christians we should always remember what Jesus did. He would speak to the sinner and allowed them to decide for themselves. He did not speak harshly to the sinners. He spoke God’s Word and if they did not accept it, he moved on. The only time I can remember Him being enraged was in dealing with the Scribes and Pharisees who were actually Kenites that worked their way into the priesthood of Judah if you follow lineages and so forth through the Old Testament. He was more angry with people being misled by those who claimed to be Godly and were not and were condemning others rather than someone’s own personal sin that they will be judged for anyway by God. Jesus allowed them to make their own choices but, He did reach out to them.
We have to remember, not everyone wants to or will see things the way we do. We can speak to them but, that does not mean they will ever choose to do the right thing. What we can do, though, is to stop our personal tax dollars from being used to fund abortions and try our best to educate others on what is really happening to their little baby.
There were murders and I am quite sure abortions back in Jesus’ time because I can’t see women back then being any different than today if they did not want a child and birth control then is not what it is now and it will probably continue this way whether women do it there or anywhere else until Jesus comes again at the seventh trump or the last trump. We need to do what we have the ability to do in the way Jesus would want us to and let God be their judge.
More than anything, we need to pray for the babies and the mothers that are going to have to live with what they have done because I know somewhere deep down inside, they have to know what really occurred even if their way of dealing with it is denial.
I suppose what I am saying is sinners will answer for their choices and will be judged by God. We are all sinners, it is just Christians are covered in the blood of Jesus Christ so God sees us as clean only due to Jesus and his sacrifice for us. Speak to people in love, sinner or not, to try to prevent them from committing murder but, if they choose to do so, we cannot stop them and we are not their judge. We need to pray for them and the unborn. God sees and hears and He is Judge.
Paul Melonas says
I am not surprised in the least that Planned Parenthood would use a tragic event like this as an excuse to further their murderous, diabolical practice of selling baby parts through lies about who the perpetrator was or what he stood for.. Planned Parenthood is a LIE and the supporters of Planned Parenthood are FOOLS.
Jerry Tipton says
Paul…..don’t you think “sadistic” should be added also?
Juan says
.S. President .
Juan says
This guy is a nut job being paid by candidates running for U,S. President .
Pam Ela says
@Juan. Thank you for being smart.
Pam Ela says
@Juan. You are talking about Huessin and HEllary.
Rosalyn says
Hillary paid this shooter? Nah, she won’t admit it. Remember-she doesn’t remember what side of an issue she’s on until she takes a poll, except Benghazi, she took full responsibility, oh except for her emails.
Sal says
You do mean that he was paid by the Democrats running for President! Only they would stoop that low. Obama, Hillary, Pannetta and General Patreas all should be indicted for the murder of the four Americans who died in Benghaze. 600 e-mails for more security and all we heard from Hillary is, “I know nothing.” Just like Klink from Hogan’s Heroes. She’s just as dumb also. The funny thing is Obama is dumber than she.
Jerry Tipton says
Sal…..a box of hammers are Einsteins compared to Hellary and that muslim obama!!
Eileen Murray says
Planned Parenthood is one of the most despicible organizations on the planet. They will use any means to further their agenda to murder the most innocent of all, and then obscenely sell parts of the babies they have murdered. How anyone can believe them or support their egregious acts after the videos came out, showing their callousness in selling pieces of dead babies (which by the way, has always been against the law) is unimaginable to me!!! They don’t even provide mammograms or other regular women’s services. I guess there is just too much money in murdering babies and selling their parts. Dear God, what has this country come to!
Moe Verner says
The problem with pro-lifers is that they care deeply about zygotes and embryos that haven’t even developed consciousneses yet… but they couldn’t care less about refugees, mass shooting victims, victims of rape… Something fishy about them reds.
Mike says
Moe your an ass
we care deeply about all living creatures Human above all.
Refugees should be taken care of closer to their homes, not transported thousands of miles away from it.
they are REFUGEES not immigrants they may want to return home after the conflict is over
Name one time a pro-lifer responded negatively to a mass shooting victim all negative responses have been against the mass shooting
You advocate murdering another innocent victim of rape because someone raped a woman and she became pregnant. that really happens less then .01% of rape cases
Moe Verner says
What home? Have you seen what their old homes look like? They don’t have anything to go back to.
Jerry Tipton says
Refugees!!!….Nuts to you!….they are Nomads and a warring people! They’ve all been fighting in those countries for thousands of years and seem to love it…maybe some don’t, but they sure to like to pull a trigger!!
Sal says
Why should we care about refugees when we have 97 million Americans out of work and who knows how many thousands of hard working Americans have lost their homes. 47 seven million people on Food Stamps. There were 3 million people on disability before Obama took office now there are over 9 million on disability. How many of the refugees are you going too take into your home? NONE, just like I thought. And we should take in refugees (Muslims) when the Arab States are taking none. Give m a break!
LMC1947 says
Planned Parenthood has done some good things and continues to do so. I don’t condone what they did on baby parts, if that’s what was going on, though I think somehow that this was twisted. But PP has helped many women.
Mary says
I don’t believe in abortion but I can’t force my beliefs on anyone else. God will take care of the punishment at the final judgement.
I doubt that the poor man was hired or part of a anti abortion group. More than likely he had auditory hallutionations telling him to do what he did.
Sonia Majors says
This man committing murder and mayhem is more likely to be mentally ill. We should have some mentally ill people locked up, it is the humane thing to do. We have seen acts of extreme violence to innocent victims being committed by mentally deranged individuals doing savagely acts of murder at random. Some are just dangerous sociopaths committing the same acts. but what do you? do you rounded them up? Is there a system to find out who is acting strange and can be legally examined? I think that as our population grows, we can expect to see these people loose among the population doing harm to others. Maybe we need to have again locked facilities for mentally ill people and only those who pose no danger can be treated in a different way. Planned Parenthood is just using this horrific act to politicize their dirty business, shame on them!!!
Catman Rocker says
Hey Juan, If you are implying that the ” Conservative ” candidates are paying the nut job to open fire on a planned parenthood clinic … you have been exposed as a pure lunatic and mentally deranged… Can you swim ? the border is close by.
Pam Ela says
Conservatives would never be this evil….definitely Liberals. Anything for a buck Hellary and anything for the cause Huessin.
Patty Patriot says
What if he was paid by the Demo-rats as a false flag? Around the holidays makes me wonder and Ted Cruz says he is a lady so that sounds like the liberals too.
Jeannette Mendez-de Jesus says
Did you know that history has already declared the Korean War of the 1950s as the bloodiest war known to man? YEP. The Koreas used to murder baby girls just born to keep their population numbers in check. America’s Planned Parenthood has been following in the steps of Korea through the murdering of the unborn. So, why should we be surprised when increasing murders are manifesting within our society? The Creator gave us freedom to choose the actions were are going to take. The Creator has never given humans control over the reactions to their actions. Those who live by the sword, die by the sword. This is true of individuals or of nations.
Jerry Tipton says
Jeanette….would you have all mens swords turned into plows??? If so, they would be bullied and governed by the one that didn’t!! Think about it.
Keith says
Maybe PP can sell the body parts to smooth things over! I wonder why the mass shooting of schools etc… that are ALWAYS libs never seem to addressed by the left!!!
Sal says
Because Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!
Troy Chamlee says
When people want to kill others, there is something DEFINITELY wrong in them either mentally or spiritually. If people want to kill us we can try to defend ourselves, but those little babies, that Planned Parenthood are killing is murder in the worst way, because those precious little babies have no way to defend themselves, it is even worse than what Hitler did to the Jewish people and by far many more as there has been over 50 million of them murdered. Wake up America we do not need ANYONE leading our nation who believes that is ok leading our nation, or who believes that same sex marriage should be legalized. Their eyes have been blinded by the enemy! Our tax money should not support Planned Parenthood!
Sal says
Besides not giving our hard earned money away to PP, can anyone tell me why we give money to countries that hate us and say, “Death To America?”
Justin W says
Fewer humans lost their lives that day in the Planned Parenthood clinic than would normally die there. What isn’t considered by many people is that Planned Parenthood is in the baby slaughter business. It would be interesting to know how many babies die inside that Planned Parenthood every day.
While I condemn this man’s murderous rampage, we need to remember that Planned Parenthood is a place of death. The organization makes its money off killing people. As a pro-life American I want to see all killings stop at every Planned Parenthood, whether free or paid.
Jerry Tipton says
I would like to see the business license they operate under and who issued it….seeing as murdering helpless babies is their business….can’t the license be revoked and the place boarded up?
Kimberly says
I’m just curious, I’m a conservative woman who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD at age 32. Is is possible to be both of those things? I do take medication regularly and I have never been violent with anyone. If I’m weird, well that’s nothing new.
Jerry Tipton says
That would be an interesting topic to discuss with another doctor.
Rat King says
It’s all a lie even planned parenthood they sell baby parts get it do some research u will figure it out………….we need to take the TRASH OUT
Kris says
Just read what Margaret Sanger stood for & look at where these clinics are concentrated. They’re concentrated in poor & mostly black communities. Her goal was to exterminate the Negro population & the fools buy into the the repackaged rhetoric. They’re still trying to exterminate you 1 unborn baby at a time. Now they’ve convinced you that it’s your right to chose. Read Woman, Morality & Birth Control written by Margaret Sanger in 1923.
dj88 says
South American is larger of a place than the US, so why can’t they camp there? Its a big area! And for homes, they rebuild and get by like before and go on living. I say, take the Vet’s that are homeless and move them into the FEMA camp’s, so they can better themselves. As for planparienhood, why can’t they be funded by who comes in to have an abortion. Nothing is free in life, oh wait, maybe it is. Sad that people nowadays don’t take responsibility for their actions.I wasn’t planned and mom and dad still loved me! I guess its too much trouble to be loving and kind. On the other hand, rape is a different situation all together. They need to have the rapist turned over to the law and prosecuted. A bout our Dem party, I didn’t vote neither time cause he never told me what kind of change he had in mind, but now we do. The older people had it right, raise a child as the way you want him to go and they’ll return to it ,if they stray.
Andy Miller says
We should not take one Syrian Refugee until they take 1/2 million!

Abortion is genocide and PP is demonizing conscientious objectors. They call it their war of “nerves” or “driving ’em insane WITH PLEASURE”.
