Bill Ritter is swimming upstream to get the support of many for his gubernatorial run given his "Pro-Life" views, according to the Rocky Mountain News [November 5, 2005, "Abortion doctor opposes Dem for governor"]. From the article, "Local abortion doctor Warren Hern says he can't support Democrat Bill Ritter's candidacy for governor because of Ritter's position on reproductive rights...'If you were elected governor of Colorado, it would be an historic step backwards for Colorado and for the nation in the area of women's rights and reproductive freedom,' the Boulder doctor wrote. 'I want to see a Democrat return to the office of Governor of Colorado, but not at the cost of reproductive freedom for the women of Colorado, and not at the cost of freedom for Colorado physicians to help them.'"
