COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. \u2013 Robert Lewis Dear, the shooter who allegedly opened fire at a Planned Parenthood clinic killing three people, declared in court not only that he was guilty, but also that he was a \u201cwarrior for the babies\u201d.<\/p>\n

To date, investigators have never said what a motive for the shooting was, although it was reported that Dear did state to police, \u201cNo more baby parts\u201d, a possible reference to a discredited video released by the anti-choice group Center for Medical Progress that claimed to show Planned Parenthood profiting from selling fetal organs. Despite the fact that the premise in the video had been debunked<\/a>, conservatives have used it as a rallying point against Planned Parenthood, as well as evidence by conservative lawmakers seeking to defund the organization.<\/p>\n
