Colorado Repub Brutally Grilled By Local News Anchor: 'Why Is Abortion Good For Your Girlfriend? Bad For Other Womem?

[tenderfoot]

Colorado congressional candidate and sitting State Rep. Richard Holtorf (R) received a tough grilling this week at the hands of local 9News anchor Kyle Clark over 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.

“So let me give you some context about that situation. Because I’m a pro-life Catholic and I believe everyone should choose life. Now, if you listen to my presentation on the House floor, did you listen to it?” Holtorf shot back.

As Holtorf protested Clark asked again, “But yet you’ve tried to deny that to other women. And I’m asking, why is abortion good for your girlfriend? Bad for other women? That’s my question. Simple, simple question.”
