Planned Parenthood shooter: "I am guilty ... a warrior for the babies"

Source: The Denver Post

OLORADO SPRINGS — El Paso County prosecutors on Wednesday announced 179 charges against the man accused of killing three people and injuring 12 others at a Planned Parenthood clinic.

Robert Lewis Dear Jr., 57, appeared in El Paso County District Court. He was arrested Nov. 27 after a standoff that lasted more than five hours at the clinic in Colorado Springs.

The lone suspect has since been held without bond in the El Paso County jail on suspicion of first-degree murder.

Dear appeared with public defender Dan King. King was one of the attorneys who represented Aurora theater shooter James Holmes.

During the hearing, Dear declared that he is guilty.

"I am guilty, there's no trial. I am a warrior for the babies," he told the court

abortions every year...every year according to the Guttmacher Institute which studies reproduction services. Once again for those who haven't seen it please pass along with sources:
...from Nicholas Kristoff’s article in NYT “…This in a country where half of all pregnancies are unintended, where 30 percent of American teenage girls become pregnant by age 19.

The Guttmacher Institute, which studies reproductive health, calculates that Title X family planning centers (PP) prevent about one million unintended pregnancies a year, of which 345,000 would have ended in abortion. It says that every year Title X clinics (PP) avert some 53,000 cases of chlamydia and 8,800 cases of gonorrhea, and save the lives of 1,100 women who would otherwise die of cervical cancer.

In other words, Title X (PP) prevents an abortion about once every 90 seconds...." Way to go "baby warrior"...make 345,000 more abortions by ending PP. Delusional psychotic mindless follower of hate radio and FOX's Bill O'Reilley. Proud to be stupid and deluded.

First, why aren't investigators looking for all those who aided the Christian terrorist to commit his crime? Furthermore, why aren't they trying to determine who radicalized him, and when?

I think he wants the death penalty so he can become a Martyr for the Babies. Life without Parole would be the perfect sentence for him.

If he doesn't want that LWOP to be spent in solitary confinement, he better give up all his confederates.

Here he goes and shoots up a Planned Parenthood Clinic and the local cops and more particularly the local officials who quiver and quake at the power of the pro-life movement in their city downplay what would seem to most people the most likely motive.

"Oh he's just a crazy guy" "A lone wolf, you know." "No political motive that we can fathom."

On the campaign trail the GOP candidates also downplay the whole thing. "Who, us create a climate of hate--never."

Imagine being Robert Lewis Dear sitting in his cell watching this nonsense on TV. Imagine the frustration. WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE IDIOTS TALKING ABOUT?

So finally he goes to court and decides to clear the record. 'I AM A WARRIOR FOR THE BABIES"

Unfortunately for Robert Lewis Dear his fifteen minutes of fame were eclipsed by an even more spectacular religiously motivated terrorist attack, a pair of religious wackos with guns. Better yet they are Muslims, Isis sympathizers, no less. Right wing Christians can breathe easy--no lingering guilt about the crazy violent fringe in their midst here. Republicans too rejoice! Muslims are easy to marginalize. Terror equals votes.

Sorry, Mr. Dear, with the exception of the pro-choice movement and their allies and of course the families of your victims, no one cares, and that's sad.

"The mother of all battles".

And I think a lot of people will self-proclaim themselves
as warriors for whatever floats their boat.

Sad in a way.

So, there never was a question of who the Christian terrorist was. But his logic is really warped. He wants to save babies by murdering their mothers? That's like saying you want to save the whales by hunting them to extinction.
