Milwaukee — “I don’t like the Supreme Court decision on abortion. I think it went too far.”
That was Senator Joe Biden’s immediate reaction to Roe v. Wade in 1973. He had become a senator 17 days before that ruling that changed the United States. For 49 years, it defined our politics and our culture in intimately divisive ways. And over the course of his government career, Biden has gone from that, what would seem to be the natural human reaction, to promising that federal funds will pay for women to travel to abortion-destination states.
