The right wing’s attacks on women’s access to abortion once again turned deadly last Friday.

Colorado Spring police arrested Robert L. Dear six hours after he entered a Planned Parenthood facility wielding an AK-47 rifle. By then, he had murdered three people and wounded nine others.

For days, many in the mainstream media refused to speculate about Dear’s motives — a restraint that certainly didn’t characterize their coverage of the Paris terror attacks two weeks earlier. Even after witnesses reported that Dear uttered the phrase “No more baby parts” during his arrest, police claimed the shooter’s intentions required further investigation.
