GOP lawmaker sees 'common denominator' in shooter, abortion

By Peter Sullivan


Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), a leading House abortion opponent, says last week's shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic should “only increase” efforts to defund the organization.

Franks said that the shooting at a clinic in Colorado on Friday is a reminder that both the shooter and Planned Parenthood disrespect human life.

“What this person did was evil, and it should remind us all of the common denominator that Planned Parenthood has with individuals like this who have no respect for innocent human life,” Franks told The Hill.

“It should only increase our commitment to defund organizations … that further this non-ethic of disregarding the sanctity of human life,” he added.
................................

"It is offensive and outrageous that some politicians are now claiming this tragedy has nothing to do with the toxic environment they helped create,” Planned Parenthood Vice President Dawn Laguens said in a statement on Sunday.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) defended Republicans on Monday, saying the alleged shooter, Robert Dear Jr., is simply “a very evil, crazy guy.”

1. Is this guy a sane thinking person? What we need to do is to rid this nation

Of crazy thinking people like Franks.

2. Getting rid of Franks would be tough: LDS from strong LDS district. These guys almost get elected...

for (lack of a better word) 'life'.

4. Gotcha,

5. Indeed. For instance

Orrin Hatch.

3. Defund the US military, first!!!

Shooting at hospitals, drones firing on villages, referring to dead women and children as collateral damage...talk about non-ethic of disregarding the sanctity of human life!!!

Franks is a dick...and his supporters in his "LDS" district are slime!!!

6. I with you on that defund the US military thing. There have been good Democrat Mormons:

Bruce Babbitt, Mark Udall, Harry Reid, and a good Republican one: George Romney.

7. 'A very evil, crazy guy.'...

So a typical conservative then, only this one ACTED on what he believes.

Good thing most of the rest of them are Cowards, then?, is that what I'm hearing the Congressman say about his constituents?

What an ass.
