(CNS News) -- When asked whether she agreed with Joe Biden’s position that “life begins at conception,” Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said, “I’m not going to answer the question.”
Biden has said in several interviews that he believes “life begins at conception,” and even expressed this view in the Oct. 11, 2012 vice presidential debate.
At the U.S. Capitol on Dec. 8, CNS News asked Senator Feinstein, “Do you agree with Joe Biden that life begins at conception?”
Feinstein initially said, “Oh, my god, I can’t believe you,” and her aide interjected, “That’s not an escalator question!”
She then said, “I’m not going to answer the question.”
“I don’t think it is necessary for what I do or part of it,” the senator added.
CNS News then said that Biden has “stated that he’s in favor of repealing the Hyde Amendment and using federal funds to pay for abortion services.”
Feinstein then replied, “Well, let me try and find out what’s going on.”
In the 2012 vice presidential debate against Republican Paul Ryan, then-Vice President Joe Biden said, “With regard to abortion, I accept my church's position on abortion as a -- what we call -- de fide doctrine. Life begins at conception in the church's judgment. I accept it in my personal life.”
On the Hyde Amendment, which prevents federal funds from being spent, through programs like Medicaid, to pay for abortions – except in cases of rape, incest, or life of the mother – Biden had supported it for decades.
He flipped his position in June 2019, however, and now wants to repeal the Hyde Amendment. Biden has said there are too many legal obstacles to abortion today and ending the amendment will help to ensure that women can exercise their right to abortion.
"I can't justify leaving millions of women without access to the care they need and the ability to exercise their constitutionally protected right," Biden said in June 2019.
Feinstein forgot the question.
I actually wish the Republicans would learn a thing or two from her. If you don’t agree with your leader on something, then KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY, don’t go spouting it out all over the media. If it really bothers you, then find a new line of work, or switch to the other party, or whatever.
at one time, many years ago, Dianne Feinstein acted like a semi-sensible person even though leftist oriented she did not appear to be outright communist nor especially corrupt
but since then her and her hubby appear to have raked in millions of corrupt dollars between selling defense secrets to communist China and raking off millions on the California Train to Nowhere boondoggle, also graft from University of California “job” and probably more we haven’t heard about?
she cannot retire because being IN the Senate gives her some measure of informal arrest, prosecution immunity
so USA is stuck with her forever it seems, including her anti-religious bias as so disgustingly demonstrated by her sickening conduct in the Kavanaugh (and most recently ABC) hearingfs
A true leftist would happily sacrifice born babies to the great got of feminism. Nothing is worse than the angry wrath of a hysterical man-hating and fertility-hating feminazis.
If Biden actually does believe that, then he’s complicit in murder. Arrest the baby killer!
That fossil is only thinking of the days to her own dirt nap in hell.
When asked whether she agreed with Joe Biden’s position that “life begins at conception,” Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said, “You’re a racist anti-semite and you want to restart the Holocaust.”
Biden is such a phoney! He sits there saying he cannot deny a woman a right to control her own body. It is not her body but a child’s body that is the concern and he knows the difference. He also wants to do away with the Hyde Amendment. Both of these are proof that he is a damn liar. As far as being a devout Catholic, he is not even a loose Catholic when he aspouses these things. You want a good look at the man, step back and look at these things.
