With installation of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the federal government took a turn toward support for expansion of abortion nationally and internationally, subsidized by the taxpayers. Biden ran on a “Pro-Choice” platform and Harris is described as “fiercely Pro-Choice.”

In his campaign, Biden promised to repeal the Mexico City Policy, thus allowing non-government organizations in foreign countries to receive US funds to promote and profit from abortion.

He has also vowed to reverse Title X restrictions on promoting abortion and separating facilities and financial records for abortion and non-abortion services. This is clearly designed to repay and enrich Planned Parenthood which contributed much to his campaign and political party. Panned Parenthood quit seeing any Title X patients for any reason when they could not provide abortions, which is their big money maker.

With respect to health care, he has expressed a desire to ensure that the Affordable Care Act covers contraception and abortion. And, he would remove any exemptions for conscience or religious beliefs. This would put the Little Sisters of the Poor back in the sights of a hostile government machine determined to prevent their care for the elderly poor in the United States. Seemingly, he believes that this is the duty of the Federal Government and not charitable organizations, unless they promote contraception and abortion.

In addition, Biden supports repealing the Hyde Amendment, which has blocked public funding of abortion under Medicaid since 1977. The Hyde Amendment is not law, but is an Amendment to the federal budget which has to be approved again every year. It can be removed with approval of a new federal budget at any time.

As if not enough, Biden has pledged to do everything possible to prevent the individual states from enacting laws to restrict access to abortion. To do this, he plans to codify the supreme court ruling in Roe v. Wade, that is, to make it the law of the land. Until now, the supreme court has ruled that the individual states can regulate abortion (within limits). If unrestricted access to abortion was law passed by Congress, this ability for the states to set its own standards would be lost

The Biden presidency seems surely to be preparing to divide the American people and create acrimony, controversy, and both legal and political battles.
