that he felt the Supreme Court's decision defining a woman's right to abortion"went too far."
"I do not view abortion as a choice and a right," Biden said in the interview, which would have taken place nearly 15 years ago and which the Sanders campaign has pointed to as an example of Biden's past views on abortion."I think it's always a tragedy and I think it should be rare and safe. And I think we should be focusing on how to limit the number of abortions."
"For me, keeping government out of it completely is the way to do it," he said,"But, I think we should get government into it to change the circumstances, where it's more hospitable for women to decide to carry to term rather than to abort."Now, as the frontrunner in the Democratic primary race, Biden has sought to emphasize a firmer commitment to protecting a woman's constitutional right to abortion, with his 2020 campaign platform running almost parallel to Sanders.
"Bernie has been a champion of women's reproductive rights his entire career," his reproductive health plan states."[He] has a proud 100 percent pro-choice voting record from NARAL Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood. He has consistently voted against the Hyde Amendment, which restricts the use of federal funds for abortion access, disproportionately targeting low-income women and women of color." Further, it adds,"in 1972, before the Roe v.
While the paths Biden and Sanders took to arrive at their current campaign platforms have been vastly different, pro-abortion advocacy groups have welcomed the commitments outlined in both plans.
That fact, she said, has"shown they understand it is a winning issue for Democrats, and demonstrated that support for abortion rights and safeguardingNARAL's mandate, Thayer asserted,"is to fight for reproductive freedom for everybody and to support candidates who will uphold that standard in both policy and in rhetoric."
While O'Steen said that he believed the effect that either Sanders or Biden would have on abortion access would be"identical," he said it was clear that"Sanders has been consistently pro-abortion," throughout his career, while Biden, he said, appears willing to try to"placate" both sides of the abortion debate.
Joe doesnt really stand on things. He just goes along with the crowd. This may prove useful after the guy who refuses to listen to experts.
Sanders has been in public service 30 years. Name one bill he sponsored that benefitted women's health? We'll wait.
Eff off.
Let's just recall Bernie's previous writings on 'reproductive health'. About tying cancer from too many orgasms, rape fantasies. Let's just recall that as he proposes a 'reproductive healthcare plan'.
We need a plan for getting working Americans and small business owners through this viral outbreak.
The guy who wrote a story about women fantasizing about rape is developing a reproductive health plan? Sounds awesome 🙄
Apparently, just to the left of Sanders, and slightly bent over.
THE GOVERNMENT IS FIGHTING FOR POWER! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED SOME POWER TOO. VOTE BERNIE
