Biden said in an interview with Tom Brokaw:
No, what I voted against curtailing the right, criminalizing abortion. I voted against telling everyone else in the country that they have to accept my religiously based view that it's a moment of conception. There is a debate in our church, as Cardinal Egan would acknowledge, that's existed. Back in "Summa Theologia," when Thomas Aquinas wrote "Summa Theologia," he said there was no – it didn't occur until quickening, 40 days after conception. How am I going out and tell you, if you or anyone else that you must insist upon my view that is based on a matter of faith? And that's the reason I haven't. But then again, I also don't support a lot of other things. I don't support public, public funding. I don't, because that flips the burden. That's then telling me I have to accept a different view. This is a matter between a person's God, however they believe in God, their doctor and themselves in what is always a – and what we're going to be spending our time doing is making sure that we reduce considerably the amount of abortions that take place by providing the care, the assistance and the encouragement for people to be able to carry to term and to raise their children.
Biden says that life begins at different times depending on who is deciding and which god that person believes in. As a Catholic, shouldn't believe, Joe, that there is only one True and Living God or do you not believe that either? If you don't believe that the God of the Bible is the only real God, then are we really supposed to believe you when you say that you believe that life begins at conception? I believe that you are saying that you believe this because you saw what happened to Nancy Pelosi when she said the Church never made such a claim.
Even Tom Brokaw pointed out the hypocritical inconsistency of Biden's answer by asking him how he could say life begins at conception and vote to support abortion rights. How can someone who believes that life begins at conception vote to protect a persons right to destroy that life? Biden is either lying about his belief on when life begins or he believes that people have the right to murder unborn babies. He can't have it both ways.
My guess is that Biden is lying and he doesn't believe life begins at conception therefore doesn't really believe in the Catholic faith and is identifying himself as a Catholic to appear "religious". Catholics aren't stupid Joe and answers like that make you sound really bad. Keep talking.
I can't wait until he gets to debate the Barracuda.
