Sen. Joe Biden's stand on abortion is a deliberate use of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo's 1984 "personally opposed" argument for the pro-choice position, an approach that was perfected by former President Bill Clinton (i.e., "safe, legal and rare") and regurgitated by Sen. John Kerry (i.e., "I'm pro-life") during his failed bid for the presidency.
Barack Obama's "nuanced" stand on abortion, although different, is presented with parallel themes, as if the candidate doesn't like abortion but believes in the personal "right" of women to dispatch with their unborn child. In fact, Obama apparently finds abortion so repugnant that his position involves working together in an effort to make it unnecessary.
But are these personally opposed but pro-choice idealists really against abortion and can a pro-life voter in good conscience vote for either? The answer lies in what it means to be pro-choice. From a convoluted nuanced position to "personally opposed" the pro-choice position has in common certain fundamental beliefs.
It is indeed dastardly for one in authority to stand by and watch a bully pick on an innocent child. This is an act of omission and is morally indefensible. However, a person who protects those from intervention or punishment who are bullying an innocent child commits an act of commission and is an accomplice to the crime.
Similarly, government authorities who hide behind the pro-choice position are not only pro-abortion but are willing and purposeful accomplices to the most heinous holocaust this world has seen (49,000,000 killed).

Over 2 thousand miles if each prenatal was 3” long.
Something to think about during that next long drive.
Human beings are filthy, wild beasts. Sometimes you can calm down their blood thirst with toys, drink, or ideas but not always. I don’t trust them.

I was borne premature, like 2lbs 13oz, if I recall right... so I suppose I could empathize a bit.
Since women always had the choice to give birth, by default, it follows logically pro-choice=pro-abortion. I will never forget when I made that point to a male coworker 15 years ago. He looked at me, saw the logic, laughed and said, you’re right! : )

No doubt you were in good hands :)
