This summer, Planned Parenthood came under attack from conservatives after undercover videos from an anti-abortion group surfaced which claimed the organization sells aborted fetal parts for proft. This myth has continued to be spread by several candidates in the Republican presidential debates, despite the fact that it has, for months, already been debunked.
“It really is surprising more Planned Parenthood facilities and abortionists are not being targeted”, Erickson wrote in a blog post on his website.

Last Friday’s rampage is believed to have been the first deadly attack on a United States abortion provider in six years.
