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.

    What a bunch of bullshit.

    Fetuses are not "innocent humans". Fetuses are *developing* life forms, completely dependent on the sentient person gestating it.

    If that sentient being does not wish to carry that fetus, it has the right to have it removed. Period. I don't have a uterus, so I have no say in that, ever.

    Even if I did, the only uterus I'd have control over would be my own.

    If you don't like that state of affairs, perhaps you should go somewhere where women are treated as property. Each woman makes her own choices and doesn't need you or anyone else making them for her.

    I'm not going to change your mind and your irrational, paternalistic drivel isn't going to change mine.

    In reading your posts and interacting with you here, you're obviously reasonably intelligent and, for the most part, seem to be a decent human being -- but not this. On this issue you're flat wrong and because of people like you, millions of women suffer needlessly. Shame on you!

    No woman has a "right" to demand that I pay for her abortion. Tax money supports Planned Parenthood. Without tax money, Planned Parenthood would close most, if not all, of it's clinics. A woman may decide to do whatever she wishes with her body, but she can do it at her own expense. It's really that simple.

    Defund Planned Parenthood, and properly enforce the law that says no federal funds will be spent on abortion, and I'll be a whole lot happier.

    I do note that you stipulate a right to govern her body. Getting an abortion is seldom a health issue. If and when it does become a genuine health issue, that is, pregnancy seriously threatens the mother's life, then I am willing to subsidize whichever procedure(s) are necessary to save her life.

    I have performed triage. I understand the necessity to decide who survives sometimes. In an instance where either the baby or the mother survives, then the mother takes priority - UNLESS the mother herself says differently.

    You might want to read my most recent journal entry. I went in search of a blog that I read a decade ago, couldn't find it, so dredged up my re-posting of that blog. There's another that I'm searching for . . .

      You're full of shit. You can't talk about how abortion is murder and then expect me to believe that your only issue is tax money. You can't make such extreme appeals to emotion and then claim it's just taxes you have an issue with.

        THIS, plus I am sure he is perfectly fine with his tax dollars going towards purchasing all those bullets and missiles and bombs with the potential to kill every baby on this planet 20 times over. What a self-righteous hypocrite.

      No problem: your tax gets spent on various pork barrels. It's the entire NotSanguine's tax that is used for PP.

      Happy now?
