President Joe Biden’s recent support for Roe v. Wade appears to contradict his past actions A resurfaced report by the New York Times reveals the Democrat voted to overturn Roe v. Wade back in 1982.
According to the National Review, citing a New York Times article from 2019, Biden proposed a constitutional amendment in 1982 that would allow individual states to set their own abortion policies. Additionally, a 1994 letter by then-Senator Biden stated he had voted to defund abortion on 50 separate cases.
This co*es in direct contradiction to Biden’s statement Tuesday in which he criticized the Supreme Court over reports it may overturn Roe v. Wade.
“Look, the idea that, it concerns me a great deal, that we’re going to after 50 years decide a woman does not have a right to choose within the limits of of the Supreme Court decision case,” he stated.
According to reports, Biden’s latest statement co*es in direct contradiction to his past actions on the matter. This co*es as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are divided on the decision. One America’s Cynthia Kaui has more.
