Before Colorado’s 8th Congressional Republican primary, in answering whether she would allow abortion under any “extenuating circumstances,” Barbara Kirkmeyer not only responded “no” – she proceeded to brag about banning Plan B.
Now that Kirkmeyer has clinched the Republican nomination, she’s desperate to walk back her radical stance – deleting anti-abortion language and footage of her speaking at an anti-reproductive rights rally earlier this year from her campaign website.
Too bad for Barb, the anti-abortion radicalism she tried to hide is now making national headlines:
In response to the public outcry over Kirkmeyer’s cowardly and cynical backtracking, Barb’s spokesperson insisted her website simply went through a refresh to reflect the issues that matter most to Coloradans.
But from new polling to recent election results, there is no denying that protecting abortion rights remains top-of-mind for voters in Colorado and across the country as we approach the midterms.
Maddy Mundy, DCCC Spokesperson:
“With her stated support for an abortion ban without exceptions for rape or life of the patient, Barb Kirkmeyer is a threat to Coloradans’ fundamental freedoms. Try as she might to make Coloradans forget her extremism, they will remember and hold her accountable this November.”
