Washington, DC -- In a potential preview of the lone debate between the vice-presidential candidates that will take place this fall, pro-abortion candidate Joe Biden is attacking Sarah Palin on abortion.

In an interview, Biden said it would be a "backwards step for women" if Palin become the first female Vice President.

Feminists of a hundred years ago were against abortion because they knew it was a way for men to force women into submission to their sexual whims.

Joe, you’ve taken a backwards step way back as a Catholic. You better start listening to the bishops.

You’re shameful.

...Joe Biden is attacking Sarah Palin on abortion.

No, actually he is attacking his self-proclaimed faith, the Catholic Church.

That may be true but just think, it's a giant step FORWARD for innocent babies.

To a confused Liberal, having a woman win a major office is a setback. It is sort of like calling Jackie Robinson a “setback” for baseball.

The twisted mind of the Left (e.g. ‘ole Plugs) is coming into full public view.

He just said Sunday on MTP that he believes life begins at conception and that he is personally opposed to any abortion, but Sarah Palin’s absolutely similar personal beliefs are a step back for women. So Joe believes that women’s rights are limited to only the ability, in his personal belief, to take an innocent life. Explain this one Joe.

I don’t understand Joe’s reasoning. Is the VP now the supreme law maker of the US? Will Palin issue a decree that makes women subservient to men?

Joe , lets see you ran for President twice. You must not not be a step foward.

Joe, I didn't know you we getting any coverage.

I guess your not in the know.

You and Obama are losing the women vote.

Keep talking, Joe. The more you guys talk, the better McCain’s numbers look.

Biden and Infanticide Obama are soul brothers. Isn’t that sweet? Would that make Joe the first black Vice President?

It still is.

The biggest demographic that supports abortion are young men.

Joe Biden is a backwards step for mankind.

Before I forget, is it not an implicit criticism of Palin’s pro-life viewpoint that she didn’t abort her newborn when she had the chance? Planned Parenthood got its start in this country as part of the eugenics movement, which sought to purify the human race by keeping the birth rate of the ‘undesirables’ down. Had the technology been available, no doubt those in said movement would have been glad that ‘defective’ children could be erased before birth. Here we are, several decades on, and the basic precepts still seem to hold.

Then again, that’s just my opinion.

Since killing babies is such a heinous act, any who have done it or encouraged others to do it absolutely MUST live in a world where it isn’t seen as WRONG.

Anyone who, even by their behaviors (choosing adoption or marriage), makes it appear that abortion is the less moral choice,

angers the hell out of them, ie, brings their evil to the fore.

Just think Joe - maybe you could harvest the embryonic hair follicles.............now there’s a scientific idea you could pass along to Gore.

Fools - even God had a bad hair day when He gave life to some of these morons.

Joe: Your shameful abuse of power in Delaware, your son’s CYA activities on your behalf against Larry Sinclair, and your brother’s lobbyist activities has put the law and common decency back MANY steps.
