In 1976, Biden voted for the Hyde Amendment, a law banning federal funds to pay for abortion.
In 1981, the “Biden amendment” to the Foreign Assistance Act banned any American aid from being used in research related to abortions.
In 1984, Biden supported the “Mexico City policy,” which bans federal funding for private organizations that provide abortion, advocate to decriminalize abortion, or expand abortion services.
1993: Biden votes to save the Hyde Amendment
In 1995 and 1997, Biden voted for partial-birth abortion bans that would be vetoed by Bill Clinton.
June 5th, 2019, Joe Biden continues his 40+ year support for the Hyde Amendment.
June 6th, Twitter pushback to Biden support of the Hyde Amendment

If you take a position 46 years, you change your mind one afternoon, you should probably have a pretty good explanation for why.
Biden will make the argument that his experience matters. But if he was wrong about everything, and admits it, then what does that experience mean?
