Heidi Ganahl: Declares herself "pro-life" on Facebook, won't elaborate

In what appears to be her first public statement on abortion, Ganahl said she is "pro-life." Responding to a commenter on her Facebook page who asked if she's pro-choice, Ganahl responded, "I am pro-life" and then urged the commenter to email her directly with "any other questions." Ganahl did not, however, respond to multiple emails from the Colorado Times Recorder asking her to elaborate on her views on abortion rights.

Heidi Ganahl: Make adoption and birth control more accessible

[On reproductive options]: "I think Colorado is a very different state than Texas," Ganahl responded. "Therefore, I would certainly look closely at any legislation that ends up on my desk."

"I am pro-life and I believe that there are ways that we can reduce the abortion rate in our state and our country that are important and that we must work on, such as making adoptions easier and more accessible for families. It also makes birth control more accessible. So that's the approach I'd take."
