Anti-Abortion Republicans Tom Cotton and Nikki Haley Back Joe O’Dea
GOP Senate candidate Joe O’Dea continues to contradict his own claims on abortion and being a political outsider by touting support from far-right, anti-abortion Republican politicians Tom Cotton and Nikki Haley. Last week, O’Dea undermined his own claim of being an “outsider” when he left Colorado to fundraise with Mitch McConnell in DC.
O’Dea is misleading Coloradans on where he stands on abortion, however the company he keeps suggests that O’Dea would give McConnell and national Republicans the majority they need to push a national abortion ban.
Tom Cotton’s far-right anti-abortion record:
Praised the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Repeatedly voted to ban abortion after 20 weeks and criminalize doctors who violated the ban.
Believes life begins at conception.
Nikki Haley’s far-right anti-abortion record:
Signed a law to ban abortion at 20 weeks with no exceptions for rape or incest and criminalize doctors.
Long advocated for the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Praised the overturning of Roe v. Wade with Georgia Governor Brain Kemp and touted the passage of Georgia’s extreme Heartbeat Bill.
