Planned Parenthood Gunman Voices Anti-Choice Message at Court Hearing
The gunman in the Planned Parenthood shooting rampage has admitted his guilt while expressing anti-choice views. At a court hearing where he was charged with 179 counts, Robert Lewis Dear acknowledged attacking the clinic, calling himself a "warrior for the babies."
Robert Lewis Dear: "Protect the babies. Could you add the babies that were supposed to be aborted that day? Could you add that to the list?"
The attack in Colorado Springs killed three people and left nine wounded. Defense attorneys have suggested they may seek an insanity defense. Pro-choice activists have called for the Obama administration to treat the attack as domestic terrorism.
