Joe Biden is not as optimistic about abortion federal law as before
Joe Biden does not see as much chances of codifying abortion at the federal level as he had earlier in the year. He explained the new reality regarding favorable votes that could be obtained in the House. He feels that the Democrats would come close in the House but may not make it regarding keeping the House.
From Fox News:
“I don’t think they can expect much of anything other than we’re going to maintain our positions. I’m not getting into more questions. I shouldn’t have even answered your question,” Biden said.
Biden, who has done far fewer solo press conferences and interviews than his predecessors, is known for having a list of reporters to call on, but Alexander wasn’t on it.
Biden added Monday that there likely not enough votes to codify abortion rights, as Republicans appear poised to take narrow control of the House of Representatives in this year’s midterms.
“I don’t think there’s enough votes to codify unless something happens unusual in the House,” Biden said. “I think we’re going to get very close in the House… but I don’t think we’re going to make it.”
One of Biden’s handlers then shouted down remaining questions as Biden left the podium.
Biden also praised the results of the midterms, where Democrats exceeded expectations by retaining control of the U.S. Senate, and could even expand their majority if Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., wins his runoff next month against Republican Herschel Walker.
Democrats have credited their push on abortion rights in the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade for their better-than-expected showing, and Biden pledged last month to ask Congress to codify abortion rights federally if they held their majorities. Voters across the country voted in favor of ballot initiatives protecting abortion access last week, from California to Montana to Michigan.
However, although there are still several races with outstanding vote counts, Republicans appear likely to squeak out a majority in the lower chamber.
Fox News has additional information this story.
Of course not. But then, he does not need to be. He touted it to gain the votes needed from single women who wanted to have access to free baby murder, and now he can just blow it off because the useful fools de jour are no longer needed, until next time of course.
Wow! You are so correct. “Fools de jour” should be the title of the day for sure. We are so screwed as a country.
😫
C’mon man…
Pedo Joe & Mrs. Underwear Fight Club are “devout catholics” and…
I can’t. They trot out their “faith” to voters, but they’re corrupt politicians with zero morals.
She’d not only sell her own children for a few extra bucks, but she’s send them C.O.D.
And Joey, we’ll just say his affinity for little girls, big girls too, is beyond the scope of a decent society.
He was never serious about it. Can’t give up such a valuable wedge issue. They’ve got half the country convinced that not being able to freely kill babies is the first step to Nazi extermination camps.
Love the campaign commercials during this last election cycle that called politicians “radical” because they don’t support crushing the skulls of fetuses inside their mother’s womb.
And Joe Biden reaffirms his standing as a faithful Catholic by promoting abortion. Why has he not been banished from the church, as he worships the Democrat agenda.
Because the current Pope is a socialist, not a man of God..
Because the current Church leadership is full of frauds who prefer the trappings of worldly power instead of being humble servants. This includes everyone from the clown who currently wears the “shoes of the fisherman” down to the archbishops and Cardinals in the American Church and the “social justice” priests like that cocksucker Pfleger.
The Roman Catholic “Church” has fallen into apostasy. While I do believe there are Christians who are members of the Roman Catholic Church, the Roman Catholic Church is not a part of the Body of Christ.
Neither, for that fact, is the Church of England, the United Methodist Church, and a number of other so-called “churches”.
Which is, IMHO, precisely why Western Civilization is in its current state of decay. The salt has lost its savor.
I was once Episcopalian until they espoused and pushed perversity into their message and went to an Anglican Church until the Archbishop of Canterbury suddenly stated he was in favor of Sharia Law. I feel that I didn’t abandon those Churches, they abandoned me!
prezzy sniffy creepy and his Kriminal Kongressional Kartel may as well make it the law of the land that someone can murder an innocent child. They have already assured the death of the Greatest Republic that history has ever seen.
Side bar to MD61 and LC. I guess y’all didn’t see the meme of the head of Dominion Security stating in a call with his pantyfa bois that “Trump will not win the election, I made sure of that.” or the one where sniffy creepy said on national tee vee that he had put together “…the most inclusive ect voter fraud organization in the history of American politics”? Sometimes a joke is the actual truth. I don’t find it funny worth a damn.
I don’t know if he has the mental capacity to do so at this point of the spatio-temporal continuum, but unless he truly repents Biden, as well as his cadre, is in line to join the other worshipers of Molech et al in the Lake of Fire.
It will not be fun.
Yesterday’s Sunday School lesson was on Hosea chapter 3.
It was eerily applicable to the current situation in the U.S.A.
I’m in another round of reading the entire Bible, from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation. Finished the OT last week and now into the NT.
Much of what the prophets complained about boils down to widespread, multilayer, multi-dimensional, etc., corruption. If a reader looks through descriptions intended for an ancient audience and looks at the human nature aspect of things, they’d see that people casted aside true fairness and justice (what God required) in favor of consolidating power and wealth in their hands… Like how the Constitution is being cast aside.
Israel experienced disunity to the point that the Jews were leaving for other kingdoms. Many could not feel loyalty to a leadership that screwed them in the a*. Human nature… Look at the disunity happening in the US. Those that believe that there is no election fraud are “setting up snares, pits, traps” etc. for themselves and for the rest of us.
Amen and amen.
“I shouldn’t have even answered your question”.
Sounds an awful lot like I am not responsible to you peasant “citizen” serfs. How dare you ask me anything.
Someone on Biden’s staff must have read the SCOTUS decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and advised him, because there is language in it that says there is no Constitutional provision nor interpretation that guarantees the right to abortion – hence deferring the matter to the states where it belongs.
Biden certainly didn’t figure that out by himself, and he’s supposed to be an attorney.

Not really, as I understand it he cheated on the exams and plagiarized others’ answers for it.
He may have the fake diploma, but he is still an idiot.
