Religious Right Tweets About the Planned Parenthood Shooting

On November 27th, a gunman killed three people and injured several others at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Figures from the Religious Right, including prominent anti-abortion activists, have weighed in on the attack. Many condemned the attack and expressed grief for the victims, but a few couldn't resist taking swipes at abortion.

    1. Jono -- As appropriate as it is for them to denounce the shooting, these are still people and groups that have used inflammatory language about abortion. When they play "no true Scotsman", it bothers me.

  5. Good to see they aren't exploiting this tragedy to further their own political agendas. And the rhetoric is finally calming down.

    (Do I need to add one of these: /s/?)
