"My church doesn't even make that argument now." President Biden criticized Sen. Lindsey Graham for his proposed federal bill banning abortions past 15 weeks pregnant.
The bill and its Republican supporters were referred to by Biden at the New York City event.
Rape, incest, and all other forms of sexual activity are not exceptions.
The Protection of Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act was introduced by Graham.
Rape, incest and physical dangers to the life of the mother are exceptions to the bill. Rape against a minor, incest against a minor, and rape against an adult woman are included in the definition of rape.
There should be a federal law that says after 15 weeks, no abortion on demand except in cases of rape, incest and to save a mother's life. The bill was introduced at a press conference by Graham.
Since praising the Supreme Court for returning decisions on abortion to the states, Graham has changed his mind about abortion law.
Biden said that he would veto the abortion ban if it passed, but that he would be around for another two years. I don't think it will happen.
He said that he was a practicing Roman Catholic. My church isn't making that argument anymore.
According to the official catechism of the Roman Catholic Church, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person from the very beginning.
The moral evil of every abortion has been affirmed by the church. The catechism published by The Vatican does not refer to rape or incest.
A majority of self-identifying Catholics in the US think that abortion should be legal in most or all cases.
A majority of Catholics who attend Mass weekly or more often than once a week agree that abortion should be illegal.
