Colorado GOP Candidate Faces Scrutiny Over Abortion Stance

Richard Holtorf struggles to explain his support for girlfriend's abortion while opposing abortion rights for others.

  • Holtorf, a state representative, defended paying for his girlfriend's abortion in 1986.
  • He has consistently voted for restrictive abortion measures, including a 2020 bill banning abortions after 22 weeks.
  • In a recent interview, Holtorf was questioned about this apparent contradiction by local news anchor Kyle Clark.
  • Holtorf claimed to respect his girlfriend's choice but maintained a pro-life stance for policy decisions.
  • Clark pressed Holtorf on why he seeks to deny other women the choice he supported for his girlfriend.
