July 1, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has affirmed his support of abortion “under any circumstance.” In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a Louisiana law requiring basic medical precautions in the event of abortion complications, he said, “Republicans in state legislatures will stop at nothing to get rid of Roe — and we have to be just as strong in our defense of it.”
According to the former vice president, Republicans “are trying to get these laws appealed to the Supreme Court in the hope that Trump’s justices will vote to overturn Roe v. Wade . It’s wrong. It’s pernicious. And, we have to stop it.” Biden did not clarify why making laws that are then challenged at the Supreme Court would be “pernicious.”
He promised to “codify Roe v. Wade ” as president . . .
. . . . Meanwhile, Joe Biden is fully on board with the abortion agenda. During a virtual town hall event in April, featuring former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Biden focused on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on women.
“Finally, we need to ensure that women have access to all health services during this crisis,” he said, adding that “abortion is an essential health care service.”
Biden claims to be a practicing Catholic, even though the Catholic Church teaches abortion is wrong under any circumstances. . . .
. . . Biden’s proposed health care plan would enshrine abortion on demand into law, funded by the taxpayer.
Biden has repeatedly indicated in the past that he would “codify” Roe v. Wade in federal law; repeal the Hyde Amendment that bars direct public funding of most abortions; force states to accept Medicare funding for Planned Parenthood; reverse the Mexico City Policy, which bars federal funds from supporting abortion overseas; and direct the Justice Department to “do everything in its power” to block state pro-life laws, including parental notification requirements, ultrasound laws, and waiting periods.
