GOP Lawmaker Grilled On Why Abortion Was 'Best Choice' For His Girlfriend, But Not Others
HuffPost
Colorado's Richard Holtorf, who has voted against abortion rights in office, said he once provided money to a girlfriend amid her own procedure.
A Colorado Republican had a hard time explaining why he said he “respected” his girlfriend’s right to abortion but voted against abortion rights as a state representative.
Richard Holtorf, who is running against U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert to represent Colorado’s 4th District in Congress, was asked about the seeming hypocrisy during a Wednesday broadcast on Denver station KUSA, and he didn’t really have a good answer.
Earlier this year, Holtorf revealed that he once provided financial support to a girlfriend amid her own abortion so she could “live her best life,” despite also sponsoring a failed 2020 measure that would have banned the procedure in the state after 22 weeks.
“I respected her rights and actually gave her money to help her through her important, critical time,” Holtorf said in January.
