- "As a Pro Life Catholic, after hearing from some of my fellow Democrat legislators supporting abortion disguised as reproductive health, I was spurred by raw emotions and I felt obligated to tell my story and how my personal experience surrounding this issue has deeply and personally touched me in my life. I have lived with all aspects of this complex issue including; my motherâs choice as she faced cervical cancer to choose life for me in 1965. As a young Army lieutenant, choosing life by putting our beautiful baby girl up for open adoption. And living with the saddest moment of my life, while respecting a girlfriendâs decision against life, in my early 20s while attending college. Living through all of this, I encourage both women and men to choose life. I have always tried to lead by example and share not only my triumphs in life, but also my mistakes. I share my deepest regrets to ensure that others can hear my story and make the best choice, which is life for those who can not speak for themselves, the unborn." (www.holtorfforcolorado.com)
