Question: What is Joe Biden's position on abortion?
Answer: Although he is Catholic, Joe Biden supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to choose, expressing that he does not feel he has the right to force his own views on society. However, he has publicly stated that he is personally opposed to abortion. He supports the ban on partial-birth or late-term abortions and is opposed to public funding for abortion.
In September 2008, while appearing on NBC's Meet the Press, Biden said, "I'm prepared as a matter of faith to accept that life begins at conception....[but] for me to impose that judgment on others is inappropriate in a pluralistic society."
