Udall to Clinch Open Colo. Senate Seat
Democratic Rep. Mark Udall was soundly defeating former Republican Rep. Bob Schaffer for Colorado’s open Senate seat being vacated by the retirement of Sen. Wayne Allard. Udall has a consistently pro-abortion voting record in Congress and supports the legal availability of partial-birth abortion. He regularly received donations from Warren Hern, an infamous and controversial late-term abortionist in Boulder. Schaffer has had a solid pro-life record throughout his career.
The same contrast applies to marriage issues. Udall has a perfect rating from the leading pro-homosexual lobbying group and is a sponsor of a bill to allow open homosexuality in the armed forces. He’s also supported using federal funds to punish the Boy Scouts for not allowing homosexual troop leaders.
