Women’s Voices campaign ad underlines Buck’s ‘women problem’

A new campaign advertisement targeting Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ken Buck put out by a political nonprofit group called Women’s Voices pulls together a short list of statements and positions Buck has made and taken that have increasingly called into question his commitment to women's rights.
