GOP Legislator Repeatedly Mischaracterizes Abortion Bill
On the radio last week State Rep. Rose Pugliese (R-Colorado Springs) continued to push her misleading claim that the new abortion bills passed this session allow children as young as 10 to get an abortion without their parents’ knowledge or consent.
