Despite pressure from fellow Democrats, Colgan sided with 19 Republicans, stating, "I ran on a pro-life platform, and most of my constituents are pro-life."

I'm one of those constituents, and it is true he ran on a pro-life platform, and he had the endorsement of the Virginia chapter of National Right-to-life.

The Democrats attacked his Republican opponent for being pro-life during this campaign. Thus showing that Democrats have no real convictions, only the desire for power. They ran anti-pro-life ads against the opponent of a democratic pro-life senator.

That actually made my Democratic senator mad, and it could be that anger that made him do what was right. After all, he also promised to oppose gas tax increases and in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, but he ended up voting for both of those.

Cutting funding to Planned Parenthood was a stroke of luck. The irony is that if the GOP still controlled the Va Senate, this would have never happened. The NoVa RINOs who headed the committees would have never let the bill to go thru.
