It is hard to believe now, but Joe Biden was once a critic of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of abortion rights. “I don’t like the Supreme Court decision on abortion,” he said in 1974. “I think it went too far. I don’t think that a woman has the sole right to say what should happen to her body.”
Now Biden frames the issue of abortion entirely in those terms. After a male reporter from the Catholic news network EWTN asked Jen Psaki, Biden’s press secretary, how Biden can support abortion “when his own Catholic faith teaches abortion is morally wrong,” she replied, “He believes that it is a woman’s right, it’s a woman’s body and it’s her choice.” Psaki then insulted the reporter: “I know you’ve never faced those choices, nor you have never been pregnant, but for women out there who have faced those choices this is an incredibly difficult thing and the president believes their rights should be respected.”
Biden’s frenzied response to the recent Texas law prohibiting abortion after six weeks shows the extent to which he has sold his soul to Planned Parenthood. He is acting as if the Texas law represents a national crisis. He blasted the Supreme Court for not blocking the law, saying that it “unleashes unconstitutional chaos.” He is calling for a “whole-of-government effort” to undermine the law. Biden huffed: “Complete strangers will now be empowered to inject themselves in the most private and personal health decisions faced by women.”
This is the same president, of course, who urges complete strangers to imposes vaccine mandates on their customers.

Teddy Kennedy said similar things in the early ‘70s. It was an era in which northeast Democrats still depended on working-class white Catholic voters as a core constituency. Two things happened: (1) the Catholic hierarchy refused to push a hard line on the issue; and (2) the Dems gradually discovered that they could win without the white working class by forming a new coalition of “people of color,” LGBT, immigrants and the urban white liberal elite.
Biden is a devout unholy Catholic.
Until Joe Biden makes a comment supporting the pro-life cause, the Catholic Church should be prepared to excommunicate him.
Demented Joe doesn’t have any thoughts on the matter. Pinocchio Joe simply parrots whatever is said into his earpiece.
this drooling fool with dementia has no idea what he thinks.
He is being manipulated by the deceitful piece of crap Doctoro Jill and other handlers.
