CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 23, 2019
PARDON ME FOR INVOKING ONE OF MY LECTURE CIRCUIT LAUGH LINES BUT IN THE CASE OF JOE BIDEN’S FLIP-FLOP ON ABORTION IT SEEMS APPROPRIATE: THE ONLY POLITICIANS WITH CONVICTIONS IN WASHINGTON ARE IN PRISON.
BIDEN TOLD A MEMBER OF THE ACLU THAT HE NOW FAVORS REPEAL OF THE HYDE AMENDMENT, THE LAW THAT PROHIBITS FEDERAL FUNDING OF ABORTIONS EXCEPT IN EXTREMELY RARE CASES.
AS RECENTLY AS 2007, BIDEN SUPPORTED THAT AMENDMENT AND GOING BACK EVEN BEFORE, BIDEN SUPPORTED RESTRICTIONS ON ABORTIONS, INCLUDING THE PARTIAL BIRTH KILLING OF BABIES EMERGING FROM THE WOMB.
NOW, SINCE HE’S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN, HE WANTS NO RESTRICTIONS. HE FOLLOWS A LONG LINE OF DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS WHO CHANGED POSITIONS WHEN IT BECAME POLITICALLY FEASABLE. THEY INCLUDE TED KENNEDY, JESSE JACKSON (WHO CALLED ABORTION THE WHITE MAN’S SOLUTION TO THE WELFARE PROBLEM), DICK GEPHARDT AND MANY OTHERS WHO ONCE CLAIMED TO BE PRO-LIFE.
THE MAJOR MEDIA WON’T MAKE A BIG DEAL OF THIS BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE PRO-ABORTION, BUT I WANTED YOU TO KNOW ABOUT BIDEN’S FLIP-FLOPPING IN CASE YOU ARE THINKING OF VOTING FOR HIM. I’M CAL THOMAS.
