Colorado's Republican Senatorial candidates carved out different positions on abortion rights at the Western Conservative Summit.
– Colorado’s Republican Senatorial candidates carved out different positions on abortion rights at the Western Conservative Summit. Ron Hanks and Joe O’Dea face each other on June 28 to see who will take on Democratic incumbent, Michael Bennet, this fall.
With the Supreme Court poised to overturn Roe v. Wade this month, the issue could play an outsized role in both the primary and general election. The candidates fielded questions at the annual conservative gathering, including “when does life begin?” “When we fight for life, we don’t fight for life some of the time. We fight all of it because everyone deserves a birthday.”“It is murder, and that is something that we have to decide where we are on that position.”
O’Dea said Republicans couldn’t afford a candidate who would change his position, “A Republican majority in Senate is vital to the future of this country. We don’t need a flip-flopping politician on stage debating Bennet.”
