Formerly anti-abortion President JoeBiden now counts on 'Roe-vember' to save Democrats Analysis from Jim_Antle:
Biden was introduced Thursday at a Democratic fundraising reception in New York City by a donor who referred to the midterm elections as"Roe-vember."
In the same 1974 interview in which Biden criticized Roe, he said, “But when it comes to issues like abortion, amnesty, and acid, I’m about as liberal as your grandmother.” He described himself as a liberal on healthcare and civil rights. In 1982, Biden voted for a constitutional amendment that would have overturned Roe and allowed abortion policy to be set by the states — much as the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, which he has repeatedly denounced, did.
In that interview, Biden explained his evolving position on Roe and abortion. “Well, I was 29 years old when I came to the United States Senate, and I have learned a lot,” he said. The president now finds himself leading the opposition to Dobbs in the hope the decision will salvage the Democrats’ slender majorities on Capitol Hill."At the federal level, we will need more pro-choice senators and a pro-choice majority in the House to adopt legislation that codifies Roe, which I will work to pass and sign into law,” he said in a statement.
