1. You do realize Biden has been an ardent supporter of Planned Parenthood for years..

He worked to try and keep them (the republicans) from defunding PP in 2011 .. nothing is ever so cut and dried as some had hoped it would be and spent so much energy trying to kneecap VP Biden..

primary today, I would vote for:

in 2011

"Washington (CNN) – Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, along with 19 other Democratic senators, penned a letter Wednesday in support of Vice President Joe Biden's effort to maintain government subsidies for Planned Parenthood in the final budget negotiations for the 2011 funding bill.

The group said a Republican-led proposal to de-fund the organization would harm the economy.

"This ideological agenda cloaked in a budget document isn't even good fiscal policy....As a matter of creating jobs and bolstering the economy, this rider would have the opposite effect: not only will health centers be forced to close but many uninsured women and their families also may go without care, become more ill, and be kept away from their jobs," the senators wrote."

about supporting the Hyde Amendment. It was always wrong.

I’ve said it many times, I think Joe Biden is a good man and would make a good president. No goalposts.

this morning asking him to please tell Biden not to base political decisions based on "religion". Separation of Church and State.

I know that didn't do it but it was part of the blowback!
