Biden’s view: Senator and presidential candidate on Iraq war, Bush’s counterattack on critics and Democrats and abortion

Look we should not back off our position that a woman has a right to choose at some early point in her pregnancy. Everybody forgets what Roe v. Wade says. … A lot of the womens’ groups don’t really support Roe v. Wade when they say a women’s right to choose. That’s not what Roe v. Wade says. In the first three moths, it is primarily the women’s right; second three months, the state has an interest in the health of the woman; the third three months, the state has an interest in the health of the fetus.
And so I vote against partial birth abortion. I’m one of those guys, if you look at my voting record, the womens’ groups don’t like me and the right-to-lifers don’t like me.
