Bernie Sanders backed abortion rights and blasted male-dominated legislatures in a 1972 article surfaced Wednesday, revealing another decades-long contrast with Joe Biden.
Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders backed abortion rights and ridiculed male-dominated legislatures governing women's bodies in a 1972 article surfaced Wednesday. The commentary reveals another stark, decades-long contrast between he and former Vice President Joe Biden's progressive stances.newspaper in September 1972 -- months before the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on-- that abortion procedures should only be a concern between a woman and her physician.
Biden, who was a Democratic senator from Delaware from 1973 to 2009, stated Wednesday he still backs the 1976. The measure prohibits the use of federal funding for abortion except in cases of rape, incest and when the mother's life is in danger. And in 1977, Biden voted against a measure to allow Medicaid to fund abortions for any victims of rape or incest. Despite his opposition, the exceptions passed.
The 1972 article entitled,"Abortion up to conscience, not government, says Sanders," relays the Brooklyn-born Vermont politician's progressive stances that liberals would be slow to embrace for decades -- a divisive climb he appeared to acknowledge at the time.
