How stupid are these dudes? Is Karl asleep? First Janet Rowland and her anti gay comments and now this from Both Ways himself. At this rate Ritter needs to do nothing just sit back and make sure Both Ways has plenty of rope.
From ProgressNow:
This week marks the 43th Anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Yet Congressman Bob Beauprez marked it by arguing in a KCFR televised interview that “70 percent” of African American “pregnancies end in abortion.”
Beauprez stated that “in some of our ethnic communities we’re seeing very, very high percentages of babies, children, pregnancies end in abortion.” When KCFR asked him to name “which ethnic communities in particular” he was referring to, Beauprez answered, “I’ve seen numbers as high as 70 percent, maybe even more, in the African American community that I think is just appaling.”
According to Colorado Media Matters, Beauprez's statement is completely inconsistent with, and a gross exaggeration of, statistics cited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Coloradans deserve better from Beauprez than this disgusting demonstration of ignorance, trying to push his anti-abortion agenda at the expense of African American women, men, and families.

I heard the Colorado Matters interview, only I didn't hear which candidate would be first. When some of this anti-abortion language started coming across the airwaves, I said "Please, please, please, let this be Beauprez." My wish was granted.
He did defend himself or try to dig out of the hole by saying that these lives (ethnicities) deserved to be lived, too. Does he really think that?
Ditto the shame on BWB for trying to use his slander to defend his position. Let's call him All Ways Bob.
