A New York House Republican is accusing a Democratic colleague of refusing to let him cosponsor a pro-contraception bill, leaving him open to attack ads by his election opponent.
Molinaro, a freshman House member, says his Democratic opponent in the hotly contested New York 19th District race, Josh Riley, is blasting him for not being a co-sponsor, despite his requests to co-sponsor the bill. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
