Friday’s shooting at Planned Parenthood is the ultimate political Rorscharch test. Was the shooter motivated by anti-abortion rhetoric or was he just violent and mentally ill? Is he a domestic terrorist enabled by loose gun laws or a disturbed loner without a political agenda? Was this a fluke tragedy, or the inevitable culmination of months of animosity towards Planned Parenthood? One thing is certain: the Planned Parenthood shooting is an example of what psychologists call “confirmation bias,” which is when a person interprets new facts to reinforce or confirm things he or she already believes.

    Dear Amy: I am a divorced mom in my early-30s, with primary custody of my 8-year-old child. I have been dating “Ben” for the past two years. He is a great guy and he is very good with my son. We have been talking about getting married. He has never been married before (no kids) and I am gun-shy, to say the least. I own my home, my son is happy, and I am trying to be extremely careful about our future. Last week Ben took me out for a drink.

    Time, Friday - 05/03/2024 - 03:48 PM
