Joe Biden Was Never Pro-Life

The former vice president’s change of heart on the Hyde amendment is just the latest evidence that he is not the abortion moderate he wants you to think he is.

In a catastrophic failure of moral and political judgment, Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden has buckled under pressure from abortion-rights activists and stated his newfound opposition to the Hyde amendment, a bipartisan rider that has prevented the direct public funding of abortion for decades.

It is no great shock that the leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination would feel obliged to uphold his party’s platform, which in 2016 was rewritten to formally reject the Hyde amendment as an unconscionable restriction of a woman’s right to abortion. (Arguing that a lack of federal funding to enable the exercise of a right is an unconstitutional limitation on that right likely would draw objections from Democrats if it were applied to, say, the Second Amendment.)

For decades, Biden said he was a pro-life Democrat, taking the line that, as a Catholic, he was “personally opposed” to abortion.

Last month Biden switched his position on the Hyde Amendment three times.

Biden had supported the Affordable Care Act which greatly expanded government funding for abortion.

Biden’s recent acts of cowardice show that he is afraid of political pressure from the abortion-rights activists in the Democratic Party.

Biden now supports the unlimited right to abortion for any reason, until the moment of birth and even after birth, fully paid for by taxpayers, regardless of their religion or conscience.

Phony Pro-Life Democrat engineered to appeal to Catholic voters. Just like Bob Casey, Jr.

as a Catholic

One ceases being a Catholic when they support abortion. I don't care what Frank doesn't do or say.

Biden’s staff had to do s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g.

After Joe gaffed and said Mararet Thatcher called him....he began dropping hints that Elvis was emailing him about foreign policy.

What better way to change the subject that throwing a few body parts to the blood-thirsty pro-abortion hordes.
The pro-abort mobs will feast on the Biden reversal for weeks.

As sparklite2 posted: He’s learning from Trump. Throw ‘em some crap and they all run over to it like kids chasing a soccer ball.

The only immutable principle most Democrats have is the principle of saying whatever it takes at any given time to keep their phoney-baloney jobs.

Joe Biden has always been Pro Joe Biden. Never a Flip-Flopper.
