Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on Joe Biden\u2019s changing views on abortion:<\/p>\n

Joe Biden entered the senate in 1973, the same year the Supreme Court legalized abortion in its Roe v. Wade<\/em> decision. He has evolved from being strongly pro-life to rabidly pro-abortion. Here is a list of his changing positions.<\/p>\n

1974<\/em>: A year after Roe<\/em> v. Wade <\/em>was decided, he said the ruling had gone \u201ctoo far\u201d and that a woman seeking an abortion should not have the \u201csole right to say what should happen to her body.\u201d<\/p>\n

1976<\/em>: He votes for the \u201cHyde Amendment\u201d which bans federal funding of abortions.<\/p>\n

1981<\/em>: He introduces the \u201cBiden Amendment\u201d which prohibits foreign-aid funding of biomedical research involving abortion.<\/p>\n

1982<\/em>: He votes for a constitutional amendment allowing states to overturn Roe v. Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n

1983<\/em>: He votes against a constitutional amendment allowing states to overturn Roe v. Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n

1984<\/em>: He votes for the Mexico City Policy which bans federal funding for abortions.<\/p>\n

1987<\/em>: He becomes chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and leads the fight against Supreme Court nominee Judge Robert Bork, whom he said was opposed to Roe v. Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n

1994<\/em>: He says, \u201cThose of us who are opposed to abortion should not be compelled to pay for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

1995<\/em>: He votes to ban partial-birth abortion.<\/p>\n

1997<\/em>: He votes to ban partial-birth abortion.<\/p>\n

2003<\/em>: He votes to ban partial-birth abortion<\/p>\n

2007<\/em>: He criticizes the Supreme Court decision upholding the ban on partial-birth abortion, calling it \u201cpaternalistic.\u201d<\/p>\n

2008<\/em>: He says he is opposed to overturning Roe v. Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n

2012<\/em>: He says the government does not have \u201ca right to tell other people that women, they can\u2019t control their body.\u201d<\/p>\n

2019<\/em>: He says he is opposed to the \u201cHyde Amendment\u201d which bans the federal funding of abortion.<\/p>\n

2020<\/em>: He says he supports abortion \u201cunder any circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is no one in public life who has undergone such a dramatic transformation. He did not change because of the Catholic Church: it did not change its position on abortion. He did not change because of science: it did not change its position on when life begins. It was Biden who changed, and he did so for totally political reasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
