That's not what Biden was doing thou. He did it to pacify his party. He buckled. He always says he is authentic - that's a lie-He's not authentic - he'll do whatever and say whatever to get elected. But that's like most politicians do.
Again, I do not have a dog in this fight but as a side note - Catholics don't make this distinction that you wrote about. I should know - I was raised Roman Catholic.
My opinion is to leave things as they are and let's move on to other matters.
Your statement about Biden being pro-life is, for the most part, incorrect. Biden is pro-life in his own personal life. Biden is pro-choice for others.
"My religion defines who I am. And I've been a practicing Catholic my whole life. And it has particularly informed my social doctrine. Catholic social doctrine talks about taking care of those who can't take care of themselves, people who need help. With regard to abortion, I accept my church's position that life begins at conception. That's the church's judgment. I accept it in my personal life. But I refuse to impose it on equally devout Christians and Muslims and Jews and--I just refuse to impose that on others, unlike my friend here, the congressman. I do not believe that we have a right to tell other people that women can't control their body. It's a decision between them and their doctor, in my view. And the Supreme Court--I'm not going to interfere with that."
He flip-flopped on federal funding of abortions. An issue on which many politicians have changed their minds. A couple of decades ago the majority of people in this country did not support same-sex marriage. In 2004 60% of the people in this country opposed it. Today, just 15 years later, 61% support it. I admire those people, politicians and others, who can stand up and say "I was wrong" and change their opinions to be in line with current thinking.
