TYT: “Warrior For The Babies” Pleads Guilty



The man who attacked a Planned Parenthood in Colorado has plead guilty to the attack. He had several outbursts during the trial including one where he said he a warrior for the babies. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

Will his actions and remarks turn pro-life people off or will they embrace him as a hero? Let us know in the comments below.

“In one of several courtroom outbursts Wednesday, Robert Lewis Dear, who is accused of killing three people at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado last month, declared his guilt and said he is "a warrior for the babies."

During the hearing to formally charge Dear with first-degree murder and other crimes, Dear interrupted the proceedings more than a dozen times, according to Colorado Public Radio's Ben Markus, who was in the courtroom.

Markus spoke to NPR's Kelly McEvers on All Things Considered:

"While his lawyers were discussing pretty routine matters related to the future media coverage, Dear suddenly shouted that he's guilty and that he's 'a warrior for the babies,'" Markus said.

Markus also said that Dear interrupted proceedings to say: "Kill the babies, that's what Planned Parenthood does."

That's the demographic responsible for virtually all of the mass shootings prior to the San Bernardino shootings. When are the RW goofs going to start campaigning to kick white male Christians out of the U.S. or not allow them to re-enter if they should leave this country until we get our act together, as Trump so eloquently put it the other day?

4. That "Warrior for the Babies" Has a Terrible Case of Yang Sanpaku

In Japanese, "Sanpaku" means, "three whites" - in other words, three white areas are visible on the eyeball instead of the normal two. In macrobiotic facial diagnosis, there are two kinds of Sanpaku - Yang and Yin. In the Yin Sanpaku, the third visible white area lies directly below the iris, due to a drooping lower eyelid, and indicates extreme devitalization of the autonomic nervous system. The Yang Sanpaku is where the third or extra white areas are on the upper side of the iris; it's also associated with bug-eyed, hyper-thyroid states, and denotes a manic, violent temperament.

My favorite bumper sticker about abortion reads, "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a holy sacrament." That sums up the patriarchal realities of it all in a nutshell.

Personally, I would say that we need to concentrate more on abortion prevention than on banning abortion. Get to the root cause, and eliminate it. And what is the main cause or reason that drives women to get abortions? The terrible economic conditions in our society today, in which, if you're not one of the economic elite, it is harder and harder to raise children and support a family.

The Republicans and the Christian Right are great at fighting for the rights of the unborn to be born, but once they're born, forget it! You're on your own, bucko! Put your money where your mouth is, and where your guns are! Step up to the plate, and start to support the rights of the newly born and their families to provide a decent life and future for the child!
