Colorado Senate shakeup: Joe O'Dea responds to Sen. Bennet's abortion attack ad as Democrat loses steam
Fox News
Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet attacked Republican rival Joe O'Dea over his abortion stance, which is far more pro-choice than most of the GOP, as the Senate race tightens
Thomas Phippen is an Editor at Fox News.
"Michael Bennet has always fought for a woman's right to make her own healthcare decisions, but Joe O'Dea opposes the law protecting abortion access in Colorado," one Coloradan said in Bennet's ad. "O'Dea would have voted to confirm Trump's Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade," another person says.
"It's just not true" O'Dea said of Bennet's ad in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital Thursday, repeating his position that he opposes late-term abortions but believes that early in a pregnancy, a woman's decision to terminate should be "between her, her doctor, and her God." He also opposed the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, which overturned nearly 50 years of legal precedent protecting abortion as a constitutional right.
