Biden has flipped positions on a controversial amendment.

This week the democratic presidential candidates slammed Joe Biden for his previous support of the Hyde Amendment, which denies the use of federal funding for abortions.

Of Biden’s past approval of the Hyde Amendment, democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke said, “He’s absolutely wrong on this one.”

Senator Elizabeth Warren said, “The Hyde Amendment should not be American law.”

Senator Cory Booker made a bold statement to a large crowd, saying, “The Hyde Amendment to deny people through Medicaid and Medicare abortion rights – that is an assault on African American women too.”

After a bruising news cycle that only lasted one day, Biden decided to change courses.

On Thursday, he said he no long supports the Hyde Amendment as he had for decades. Biden’s reasoning was that abortion seems to be under attack in many states.

According to Biden, “I’ve supported the Hyde Amendment like many, many others have because there was sufficient monies and circumstances where women were able to exercise that right – poor women that were not able to have access. It was not under attack like it is now, but circumstances have changed.”

Biden’s support for the Hyde Amendment, which was passed in 1976, put him out of step with the rest of the democratic party.

Nine states including Alabama, Georgia and Missouri have passed restrictive abortion laws this year in an attempt to overturn Roe v. Wade through a Republican-dominated Supreme Court.
