Poll needs a new answer.
Colorado congressional candidate and sitting State Rep.
Richard Holtorf (R) received a tough grilling this week at the hands of local 9News anchor
Kyle Clarkover his apparent hypocrisy when it comes to abortion rights.
Holtorf made headlines back in January when he defended paying for his girlfriend’s abortion, despite being an adamant pro-life lawmaker and abortion critic. “Anti-abortion GOP lawmaker praises the impact of the abortion he paid for,” read the headline of a local
report by Clark from the beginning of the year.

Clark pushed back, “Why do you seem deny the choice that you said was best for your girlfriend’s life?”
“Let me finish. Let me finish to explain,” Holtorf insisted.
“Why do you seek to deny it to other women?” Clark pressed.
“Let me, let me — I don’t, I don’t,” Holtorf replied.
“You have voted to restrict abortion access,”
Clark shot back.
“And I have. And I’m a pro-life person. I think you should try to choose life every time. But there are exceptions. And there are times when you need abortion. Abortion is a medical procedure,” declared Holtorf.
“Is one of the exceptions when Richard Holtorf is the father?” Clark demanded.
