the health of women. that s what i do. that s why i m very disturbed by ken buck. ken buck would ban common forms of birth control and ken buck wants to make abortion illegal, even in cases of rape and incest. as far as i m concerned, ken buck is just too extreme for colorado. since ken has supported criminalizing abortion in case of rape and incest, my question is who is going to go to jail, ken? that s why we have michael bennet of colorado and not a senator ken buck of colorado. it s because being superextreme on abortion and against contraception is not a electable position in america in any state in the united states. this past november having lost twice in colorado, the people that want to ban bitter control and abortion decided to take their case to a friendlier environment. maybe colorado was too liberal for them, even in a year like 2010. they put it on the ballot in mississippi.
looked at it, two years later gs they decided in 2010, no, again, no, no, no. byno, no by nearly the same margin. it lost by 42 points in 2010. that was in the 2010 election, which was, remember, a very republican red tide coast to coast. not only did it fail by a 42-point margin, but the republican thought toob tob a shoo-in in colorado, he lost as well. remember this guy? ken buck. ken buck and his primary campaign for that senate seat said that he was in favor of that personhood thing to ban all abortion and likely ban hormonal birth control, too. even in the reddest possible year colorado looked at that and said, no. are you crazy? no. so the democrat was able to point out how crazy that was, and thereby beat republican ken buck. as a doctor i try to protect
one of the other thing things, colorado voters voted on a personhood amendments, a fertilized egg is a person, a total ban on abortion and likely ban on hormone birth controls. colorado voters rejected the personhood proposal by a 3 to 1 margin. lost by 46 points. that was a huge democratic day in colorado, right? 2008, obama wins by a big margin, lots of other democratic candidates do well. maybe that was a 2008 thing, a really left leaning electorate that didn t like the personhood thing. that is what the anti-abortion, anti-birth control people were counting on, they put the same thing on the ballot again in colorado two years later. for 2010. which of course was a huge republican year nation-wide, and overall a much better year for republicans in colorado. in 2010, asked to vote on this thing that would ban all abortion and probably ban all hormonal birth control, they
women use birth control. as republican candidates try to pass more extreme litmus tests they have gone so far right on abortion and contraception they re significantly to the right of even the electorate of the state of mississippi on this issue. the beltway pundit class says the white house is in trouble on this. reality check, guys, okay? where the white house is on this issue is here. hey, women of america, under a democratic president your birth control pills will be covered by health insurance, and if you don t have health insurance you can go to a clinic and get s subsidized birts control there. if a republican is elected your insurance won t cover birth control and if your insurance doesn t cover it, there are no clinics to go to anymore to get birth control pills. planned parenthood defunded. and title 10 gone altogether. so you can t get it from insurance, and you can t get it from a clinic.
