An anti-abortion group is blasting Bob Schaffer, the GOP candidate for one of Colorado's U.S. Senate seats, over his stance defending human rights conditions in the Northern Mariana islands, an U.S. territory where allegations that factory workers must undergo forced abortions are common.

According to an article by Denver Post reporter Tim Hoover, Colorado Right to Life accused Schaffer of closing his eyes to reports from Chinese workers there about forced abortions.
