The left is not making an argument pro or con, for or against, abortion per se. They are making the argument against the threats of being shot to death for going to the doctor of your choice. It would not matter if it was someone from the left going into PP's and shooting the place up. It would still be terribly wrong. And if any liberal were to indulge in hot rhetoric to stir up the shooter's emotions, then those "liberals" would be partly to blame for whatever happened. That is the price we pay for living in a stable and safe society. It is not about "pro-life", it is about domestic terrorism!

A man was detained Monday afternoon at the Memorial Hospital Central parking garage as police investigated reports of a "suspicious person" making threats to shoot one of the victims from Friday's deadly Planned Parenthood attack, police said.
The man, whose identity was not released, was questioned but police did not considered him a threat, said Sgt. James Sokolik, a Colorado Springs police spokesman.
Sokolik said he did not immediately know the man's motivation.
The search for a "suspicious person" began shortly after 11 a.m. at Penrose Hospital, where three of the shooting victims are receiving treatment, said Andrea Sinclair, a hospital spokeswoman.
