Planned Parenthood Great Plains Votes applauds the young women who have spoken out against Aaron Coleman and shared their stories. This is an incredibly hard thing to do in a culture that often blames women for their own abuse. #ksleg

Throughout the course of his campaign, we have seen Aaron Coleman use his support for reproductive rights to distract from credible reports that he harassed, bullied, and distributed revenge porn of middle-school-aged girls. #ksleg

Coleman made the right decision by suspending his campaign. And Democratic Party leaders have done the right thing by disavowing his candidacy. We hope that this type of accountability will continue, regardless of a candidate’s perceived power or party affiliation. #ksleg
