There are pro-life Democrats and there are pro-abortion Republicans.
Yep
Biden had a tumor in his 30s
And lost first wife and one child in car accident early 70s
Beau was from that family
Say what you will...he’s no stranger to hard stuff
I’ll give him that
Sympathy for the Bidens. I hope he doesn’t use this the way he uses his wifes death.
Joe will take this to mean he hasn’t done enough.
Well done
No parent should have to outlive their children.... Lord be with them.
God bless, lost my son in 2007.
Very sorry for the Biden family’s loss.
Prayers for the comforting of the Biden family
Prayers for his family; my Uncle also died of cancer at age 46; and my Dad at 62.
Stupid cancer...the horror show that defies description.
Dear me, that’s a shame. Thanks for posting this. Condolences to the Biden family, may Beau rest in peace.
Agreed.
Very Sad.
RIP. Prayers up for the Biden family.
Prayers up.
“A handful of comments have been removed. That’s not “a whole bunch of hate” by “a lot of Freepers”. That’s a few uncouth people shooting their mouths off. The vast majority of comments have been very respectful.”
I guess I always thought this was a respectable group above the fray, however a whole bunch of this ugliness is hate and with as many comments removed it is a LOT!
AND I’m not jumping on your opinion I’m agreeing with Kate’s opinion.
Work on immunotherapy for cancer has been around for I think decades but we are just now getting the key breakthroughs that will leverage the immune system’s inherent ability to do its thing and keep all kinds of health threats at bay.
I was wondering a little if this was the reason he hasn’t jumped into the race. Dealing with this type of tragedy is very hard, especially when you have dealt with it before. He doesn’t need any more on his plate right now.
Prayers to the family...Rest in Peace...
