Far-right Gubernatorial Candidates on Abortion
Denver, CO – Following the Supreme Court’s leaked draft majority opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, one thing is clear: no matter which top far-right candidate you ask in the Colorado gubernatorial race, all of them have committed to roll back abortion protections and endanger women’s right to choose.
Gubernatorial Candidates on abortion:
Heidi Ganahl - Republican
Has said repeatedly she is “pro-life”
Testified against and urged Gov. Polis not to sign RHEA
Stated she would do “everything I can to turn [RHEA] back as governor.”
Greg Lopez - Republican
Declared as governor he would represent “all of us…and that includes the unborn.”
Defended testifying against RHEA, promised to veto if he was governor
Attended an anti-abortion fundraiser
Danielle Neuschwanger - American Constitution Party
Vowed to sign a “heartbeat” bill banning abortion at six weeks
“Coloradans have voted over and over again to protect abortion rights, and these extreme, far-right candidates will never find footing in Colorado as long as they oppose the right to choose.” - Colorado Democratic Party spokesperson Kailee Stiles
