Fox News host Tucker Carlson noted Tuesday that Joe Biden voted against Roe vs Wade when he was a Senator, favouring making it a State issue, rather than a decision that should be made by the Supreme Court.
Carlson told viewers that “Joe Biden has always supported legal abortion, but nine years after the Roe decision was handed down, he was still willing to admit it was indefensible as a legal decision.”
The host continued,
“Pregnant women, Biden explained in 1982 as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, should not have “the sole right to say what should happen” to their unborn children, because, after all, no one creates children alone. It takes two people. That’s obvious.”
“In fact, Biden concluded Roe had gone ‘too far.’ And of course, it had gone too far. That was obvious then. It’s obvious now. Then, as now, many Americans believe that abortion is murder. Many other Americans consider abortion a prerequisite to happiness,” Carlson further noted.
During the monologue, Carlson called Roe vs Wade “the most embarrassing court decision handed down in the last century,” but noted that the leak of the draft opinion written by conservative Justice Samuel Alito was dangerous and that “people could get hurt”.
Carlson suggested that the leak was an intentional attempt to pressure conservative justices not to go through with overturning the ruling.

Recent polls have revealed that almost half of Americans believe that states should decide for themselves on the issue of abortion, with many of the opinion that terminations should be capped at 15 weeks.
In a Marist poll, 44% of people said it should be down to individual states to decide, while 48% said they would support the same law to apply after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
A Wall Street Journal poll also found 42% would support a ban on abortion after 6 weeks, while 48% supported a ban after 15 weeks.
A Gallup poll also found that 48% believe abortion should only be legal under certain circumstances.
Biden is a fool. Doesn’t change the fact that abortion is going to fire up the democrats and give them a shot at midterms. This was the best thing to happen to the Democrats since Biden voter frauded his way into the WH.
“A Gallup poll also found that 48% believe abortion should only be legal under certain circumstances.”
That statement implicitly lumps together those who feel abortions should always be legal with those who feel they should never be legal.
I bet back then he claimed he was a Catholic and that is why his vote against it.
As for today? He still claims to be a “catholic” (small c and in quotes).
Tucker is at the top of the game.
He’s the only thing I watch on Fix News.
Had Biden been in the Senate at the time, and given his connections to southern anti-integration Congressional Democrats, he would have likely voted against The Civil Right Act of 1964. Delaware had two Republican Senators at the time...James Boggs, and John Williams. Both voted for the Bill.
I don't think you are right but we will see.
In 2005 Sen. Biden led the charge to exclude student bank loans from being claimed in bankruptcy. A payoff to the banks. Now he wants us to pay off those loans.
Everything he touched is corrupt.

So, was this before, or after he was banging Jill?
“Tucker is at the top of the game.
He’s the only thing I watch on Fix News.”
Check out Maria Bartiromo on Sunday morning.
Tucker needs to remind America that it’s current president stole the election. Then we can have a conversation. Until then he is just a poster boy for hate trump fox
Biden has 40+ years in the Senate saying STUPID things and being on the WRONG side of history.
Time for Tucker to play these Money Quotes over and over and over again.
Continuously beat Biden over his head with his OWN WORDS.
This was 1982, so he had been married to her for five years at that point. But it doesn’t hurt to remind people that he was banging her in the early-to-mid-70s while she was still married to another man. Undermining the Pious Joe image he tries to project never gets old with me.
I think you have something! There are more threats from the left’s ‘armies’, including all screaming from baby-haters.
Biden is merely a placeholder at this point.
Will be easy to see: nightly news filled with abortion talk, republicans will be on defense, and a majority of new laws will be worse for the unborn. This was the lifeboat the Dems did t know they needed.
I think what is going on in the economy right now will blow this out of the water.
