Coffman defends use of Planned Parenthood logo

Source: 9NEWS NBC-Denver

Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colorado,) who voted last week in favor of a bill to de-fund Planned Parenthood, is defending his use of a Planned Parenthood logo in an ad for his 2014 re-election campaign...

Democrats argue that the goal of using the logo was to appeal to voters who support Planned Parenthood and see Coffman's vote to defund the organization as hypocritical.

"Using Planned Parenthood's expression of support is not the same thing as saying it's a good organization," said Coffman's spokeswoman Cinamon Watson in an email to 9NEWS.

Watson also pointed out that the ad in question surfaced before a series of undercover videos of the organization's staff members were released this year.

He is running for re-election to his swing House seat. It's one of the top pickups in the nation. Morgan Carroll is his opponent.
