Biden still anti-abortion (none / 0)
NBC
Yet his presidential campaign confirmed to NBC News that Biden still supports the Hyde Amendment, a four-decade-old ban on using federal funds for abortion services, except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the woman.

Biden's continued support for Hyde not only sets him apart from the rest of his 2020 Democratic competitors, but it may surprise progressive groups like the American Civil Liberties Union, which promoted a recent tweet by one of its activists appearing to get Biden to commit to ending Hyde during a rope-line exchange in South Carolina. Biden's campaign told NBC he would be open to repealing Hyde if abortion avenues currently protected under Roe were threatened.

40 f* years. Congress wasted NO time after Roe to swallow that poison pill.

Yet the mental midgets running around online forming look-like-me foundations and change dot organs, shucking subscribers, candidates, and wallets, can't even spell HYDE.

Give me a migraine.

He flips
A day after Joe Biden affirmed his support for the Hyde amendment - a measure that prohibits the use of federal funding for abortions - he reversed course and announced that he could no longer support the ban.

What day of the week is it?
It's Texass day.

Mr Biden's campaign confirmed he backs the Hyde amendment, a 40-year-old law banning federal funding for abortion other than in cases of incest, rape or to save the life of the mother.
