President Joe Biden (D) said on Friday, Sept. 3, that he does not believe life begins at conception - contradicting his previous statements on when life begins.
Biden answered a reporter’s question on abortion on Friday, after addressing the August jobs numbers at the White House. “I respect those who believe life begins at the moment of conception,” Biden said. “I don’t agree, but I respect that. I’m not going to impose that on people.”
Biden’s declaration that he does not believe life begins at conception is contrary to what he has stated in the past.
At the 2012 vice presidential debate against Republican nominee Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.), Biden stated plainly that he believed life began at conception.
"Life begins at conception, that's the Church's judgment. I accept it in my personal life," he said. "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.”
Biden said at the time that he does “not believe that we have a right to tell other people that, women, that they 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.”
In a September 2008 interview, shortly before he was elected vice president, Biden said that he was “prepared as a matter of faith to accept that life begins at the moment of conception.”
The Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 2270 states, “Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception.”
On Friday afternoon, Bishop Donald Hying of Madison responded to Biden's comments on Twitter, "People always claimed that President Biden was personally opposed to abortion."
"Today, we’ve all learned the......

The Usurper does not know what day it is.
I guess he should know...he was born the Walking dead...theres no life there even yet...
They are saying that ‘until someone walks in a pregnant woman’s shoes, they have nothing to say about abortions.’ How about when they can walk in an unborn baby’s shoes while getting aborted?
Let me make sure I understand—we are parsing the words of a senile guy?
The science is settled. Not that it matters to libtards.
Yet the church does and says nothing.
Liar, pedophile, narcoleptic, plagiarizer, corrupt, senile, demented, treasonous bastard. So what else is new? The world is laughing and we are so screwed...
I’m not sure at what point a conceived human being should be considered a Human Being - but most doctors and scientists, if they’re honest, would tell you that it’s all pretty much there from the get-go.
SloJo NEVER knew exactly what he believed.
Now he can’t even remember what he wasn’t sure of.
And THIS guy is our Commander in Chief???
The only thing Joe Biden truly believes in is how much cash that can physically be stuffed in his and Hunter’s pockets.
Contradicting the past 1,500 years of Catholic Church history, Biden’s pal, Pope Francis doesn’t believe “the unique expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite” existed until 1969.
“Life begins at conception, that’s the Church’s judgment. I accept it in my personal life,” he said. “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.”
So much principles. I’ve noticed how averse Biden is to imposing his will on others. What a great guy. Sarcasm.
It is kind of ironic that we now live an age where Martin Luther is more Catholic than the Pope.
It seems at times that the Catholic church would more likely soften its position about abortion than criticize democrats.
Genetics prove it is a separate DNA entity from the mother. It aint a skin lesion, it aint a frog.
It's utter BS that Joe doesn't want to "force his personal views" on others. His entire administration is all about forcing his personal views on the entire nation.
Biden is a CINO. Christian In Name Only.
I’m guessing he is just like most democrats today. Pagan or Satanic.
Some Christian you are phoney Joe:
Psalm 51:5
Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother CONCEIVED me.
