The mayor of Colorado Springs called the shootings at Planned Parenthood domestic terrorism while it is being reported that the shooter has made references to baby parts and anti-abortion views to law enforcement.
CNN reported, Suspected Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shooter Robert Lewis Dear mentioned baby parts to investigators and in later interviews expressed anti-abortion and anti-government views.

I just find it amusing that Planned Parenthood is their enemy, that Carly Fiorina can rant about 'brain harvesting', but Sam Brownback is cool in their book. Shouldn't he be considered part of Da Conspiracy? Perplexing.
