Four police officers and an unknown number of civilians have been hurt in an "active shooter" incident in the US city of Colorado Springs, police say.

Officers were exchanging fire with a gunman inside a Planned Parenthood clinic, police Lt Catherine Buckley said.

It was unclear if hostages had been taken, she said.

The city's Penrose hospital said it had received six patients, but did not say whether they were civilians or police.

The situation was still active and roads were closed, the city's police said in a tweet.

"We do not have the shooter at this point but we do have all of our resources brought to bear," Lt Buckley told local TV.

    It's all murder to them. So "only 3%" going to abortion is as repugnant to them as 100%. The only acceptable amount is precisely 0% because every abortion is a murder, and murder is never acceptable. They believe abortion is literally equivalent to murder. Since a zygote and yourself both have a soul of equal value (to God) killing a zygote or a phoetus is morally equivalent to killing a new born baby, or an adult. This is the sort of wacky conclusion you are forced into once you start down the path of dualism.

    These USAian Sharia nutballs are prosecuting women who dared to have a pregnancy end in stillbirth. [google.com]

    ...and as significant thinkers have said, "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament." [google.com]

      Sorry, gweg_, I have to take umbrage with that quote about men getting pregnant. If men could get pregnant, abortion would earn a capital punishment!

      Yet, too much of our gender nonsense is caught up in the idea of who can get pregnant and who does the impregnating. You fail to consider the Western acceptance of genital mutilation. A man's body is expendable. A man's life is expendable. (I think they made a few movies about Expendables, the first and third were good, but I digress.) If men could get pregnant, we'd beat him and whip him and beat him some more until he took responsibility for whoever he slept with that caused the pregnancy.

      Hell, if men could get pregnant, more powerful men would use that as yet another excuse to force them into slavery. I'm not questioning the right of abortion. I'm merely questioning the gender lunacy.
