Here's an guest commentary in support of Bill Ritter from today's Denver Post [December 2, 2005, "Ritter's position on abortion should win him votes"]. They write, "As three Democratic women who have been pro-choice our entire adult lives, we are proud to declare our enthusiastic support for Bill Ritter's gubernatorial campaign. Some have speculated about finding an alternate candidate because of Ritter's personal opposition to abortion. That speculation should end today. We're convinced Ritter can win in November 2006. Colorado Democrats would be well-served to take a page from the playbook that has catapulted other moderate Democrats into statewide offices across the country. Let's be clear about where Ritter stands on the issue of abortion. Based on his faith and after years of reflection, he is personally opposed to abortion. However, Ritter isn't interested in undermining Roe vs. Wade. It isn't part of his agenda. Nor is he interested in criminalizing women or their doctors over this issue. He will enforce the law just as he did when, as Denver's district attorney, he prosecuted those who violated the 'bubble law' and damaged medical clinics and doctors' offices."
