Video of Biden Saying He Doesn't View Abortion as a 'Right' Resurfaces
"I think we should be focusing on how to limit the number of abortions," the president said in a 2006 interview.
www.newsweek.com
Biden: "I do not view abortion as a choice and a right. I think it's always a tragedy, and I think that it should be rare and safe, and I think we should be focusing on how to limit the number of abortions. And there ought to be able to have a common ground and consensus as to do that,"
There are so many abortion threads in other sections I hope I am allowed to post this here. I was quite surprised Biden said that. But I don't really want to talk about politics. I rather want to emphasize that I disagree with this notion. (from the title)
I think it is wrong to think of abortion as tragedy per se. It is much more a tragedy when a minor gets raped and pregnant. It is a tragedy to force a victim of rape to get the children. Especially when the people are not able to care for the child. The judgment is especially discriminating poor people who cannot afford to travel to another state for a safe abortion. People who are already overstrained to handle their own problems are forced to care for another human being.
This is very counterproductive. And in my opinion immoral.
Many women will die because they will search for illegal ways how to get an abortion. This is kind of an analogy to the regulation of a peaceful suicide.
Though I also want to state of course that an abortion can be a tragedy. For example when the parents want to have a child but the life of the mother is in danger in case she does not abort the child. It must be a horrible dilemma.
