President Joe Biden, who has made the abortion issue a centerpiece of his reelection campaign, has refused to discuss the abortion restrictions he supports during the presidential campaign. Thursday’s presidential debate.
CNN’s Dana Bash, who moderated the debate with Jake Tapper, asked the 81-year-old Biden:Seven states have no legal restrictions on when a woman can get an abortion. Do you think there should be any legal restrictions on when a woman can get an abortion?
Biden responded that he would uphold the Supreme Court’s 1973 decision. Roe v. Wade The ruling that invented the constitutional right to abortion. eggAt the time, abortion was permitted up to viability — around 22 to 24 weeks of pregnancy, when the baby could survive outside the womb with medical assistance — but states were allowed to regulate abortions after that, and some states allowed abortion at any time throughout pregnancy.
“I’ll support it Roe v. Wade, “There are three trimesters of pregnancy, the first is between the woman and the doctor, the second is between the doctor and the extreme situation, and the third is between the woman and the state,” the self-described Catholic said.
“The idea that the Founding Fathers were going to give politicians the power to make decisions about women’s health is absurd. Politicians shouldn’t be making those decisions,” he added. “Doctors should be making those decisions. That’s the way it should be run. That’s what we’re going to do, and if I’m elected, I’m going to restore women’s health.” Roe v. Wade.”

In his rebuttal, former President Donald Trump said Biden “means you can take the life of a nine-month-old baby, and even after birth, because some Democrat-run states take their lives after birth.” Trump was referring to comments made by former Virginia Governor Ralph Northam (D) as he was discussing a bill that would allow “abortions” even during birth, allow the “baby” to be “delivered” until a doctor and the mother have discussed what to do, and “can be resuscitated if the mother and family so choose.”
Governor Northam of Virginia is not a moderate. This is one of the most vile and extreme pro-abortion positions ever put forward. This is evil. He should retract his statements or resign. https://t.co/Npxa4c5JdI

“So, [Biden is] “So-called willingness to rip a baby out of the womb in the ninth month of pregnancy and kill her,” Trump continued. “Nobody wants that, Democrat or Republican. Nobody wants that.”
Biden accused Trump of lying, saying:Roe v. Wade There is no provision for that.”
“That’s not a situation. Only if a woman’s life is in danger or she’s going to die. That’s the only situation that can happen. But we’re not in favor of late-term abortions. Period. Period,” Biden argued.
“under Roe v. Wade“Some states allow late-term abortions,” Trump responded. “It’s up to the states to do whatever they want. They can do what they want. We don’t think that’s a good thing. It’s extreme. We think Democrats are extreme, not Republicans.”
Biden restored egg A top priority on Day 1 of the reelection campaign, Democrats are seeking to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, which they say will restore women’s health. eggBut in reality egg It would also allow abortions. The Women’s Health Protection Act has been introduced multiple times but has yet to be passed.
Vice President Kamala Harris has also refused to name any abortion restrictions she supports, and both Biden and Harris have received millions of dollars in funding from various pro-abortion groups.
