In other words, I seriously doubt Joe Biden confesses that is a Pro Choice politician and that he’s defending a woman’s “right” to an abortion.
I am not certain he approves of abortion. Which would be following the Church’s teachings on the matter. As a legislator or possible executive, he must follow the law of the country.
“In 1981, he supported a constitutional amendment that would enable states to overturn
Roe v. Wade . In his 2007 book,
Promises to Keep, he wrote that while he is ‘personally opposed to abortion,’ he didn’t feel he had the ‘right to impose [his] view on the rest of society.’”
In 2006, Biden called himself the “odd man out” of his party, because he did not support federal funding for abortion and voted for bans on the procedure later in pregnancy,
CNN revealed in a resurfaced video last year.
“I do not vote for funding for abortion,” he said, per CNN. “I voted against partial birth abortion—to limit it—and I vote for no restrictions on a woman’s right to be able to have an abortion under Roe v. Wade. And, so I am—I made everybody angry. I made the right-to-life people angry because I won’t support a constitutional amendment or limitations on a woman’s right to exercise her constitutional right as defined by Roe v. Wade. And I’ve made the groups—the women’s groups and others—very angry because I won’t support public funding and I won’t support partial birth abortion.”
