Joe Biden was still on his Hyde Amendment backtracking tour at Planned Parenthood's 'We Decide' forum

A military veteran in the audienceDemocratic frontrunner Biden that she’d been sexually assaulted multiple times and had three abortions, which were covered by Medicaid at the time but now are not due to new, stricter laws in West Virginia:

“I fought for some of these women, and I promise you, their pain is real and their experiences are real, and it would break your hearts,” she said. “Across the country, generations of women in situations like mine have suffered because of the Hyde Amendment, because it is in place.

“I laid out of health care plan that is going to provide federally-funded health care for all women, and women who now are denied even Medicare in their home states across the board up, you’d be automatically signed up under [an] Obamacare-like provision,” he said.According to Biden, the Hyde Amendment used to “split the difference” back when he supported it, whatever the fuck that means:

“It became really clear to me that although the Hyde Amendment was designed to try to split the difference here to make sure women still had access, you can’t have access if in fact everyone is covered by a federal policy,” Biden said. “And so, that’s why, at the same time I announced that policy, I announced that I can no longer continue to abide by the Hyde Amendment.
