During the presidential debate on Thursday, President Joe Biden claimed (multiple times) that he supports abortion protections that were instilled by Roe v. Wade. If reelected, Biden said that he would “restore” Roe, which allows for abortions in all stages of pregnancy.
Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, pointed out that people on both sides of the aisle thought that Roe was wrongly decided and that the issue of abortion belonged to the states. Biden disagreed with the sentiment. He also went on a tangent saying that we need abortion because “there’s a lot of women being raped by their brothers and sisters.”
However, in August 1986, Sen. Biden had a very different take about the Roe decision.
