Colorado’s governor is praising the campus police officer killed in the Planned Parenthood shooting as someone who lived bravely and courageously every day and sacrificed his life for others in the attack. “We want them to stop trying to defund Planned Parenthood, and we just need affordable health care”, says Stand Up For Women N.D. Supporter Jen Hoy.

Richards also paid tribute to the victims.

If you listen to so many in the abortion rights movement, I killed three people at Planned Parenthood because I oppose abortion, I openly criticize the unethical and borderline criminal acts of abortion providers and I am a self-professed, unapologetic Christian.

“Enough is enough”, she said.

Prominent celebrities, politicians-including President Obama-and other supporters echoed the group’s words on Twitter.

“I don’t know of anybody who has suggested violence toward Planned Parenthood personnel or suggested violence toward their clinics”, he said.

Also killed in the attack were two people who were accompanying friends to the clinic – Ke’Arre Stewart, 29, an Army veteran who served in Iraq and a father of two, and Jennifer Markovsky, 36, a mother of two who grew up in Hawaii in the tight-knit community of Waianae on Oahu.

I didn’t wake up one morning, forget to take my meds, get my fill at some of my favorite pornographic websites, smoke a few joints, load up my (probably registered) semi-automatic, pull out my map, get in my auto, drive toward the clinic in Colorado Springs and take aim.

The clinic in Colorado Springs, however, remains closed, heavily damaged during an hourslong standoff last Friday.

She also told the crowd that some anti-abortion protesters taunted staffers in Denver about the shooting when they went to work the following day.

Planned Parenthood clinics are open, but on guard
