The Budget and Abortion in Colorado

     In the Colorado Senate an amendment to defund  Planned Parenthood was attched to the budget bill.  While this is always a controversial issue, it has long been an issue conservatives unite around.  Every Republican man in the Senate voted to defund Planned Parenthood, and every Republican woman in the senate voted against defunding Planned Parenthood. 
     The Senate Minority Leader made a bad call on this one.  As Minority Leader it is your job to know how your caucus members will vote especially on an issue like abortion. It is one thing to upset Democrats, but to lose credibility by upsetting even Republican women.
