After much soul-searching you flip views on some important issues. It looks like you did it for political expediency. Do you care?

    I changed from pro-choice to pro-life. I do not care what anyone thinks as to why. I know why I did and it was certainly not political.

    I have Joe Biden in mind specifically on this one m2c. I guess he is Catholic and there is something called the Hyde Amendment which he supported for decades. I'm not sure exactly but I think it doesn't allow for any reasons to have an abortion. But now he has apparently allegedly FLIPPED and is saying he believes the opposite. I don't understand why because if it is based on a religious view WHY WOULD THAT CHANGE AT ALL? Thank you for your reply. Do you understand what's going on here m'dear because I'm not so sure I do! :)

    I figured this was about Joe.
    Yes, he is Catholic. And has said in the past, he agrees that Life begins at conception. But believes abortion should be legal. 
    The Hyde amendment specifically prohibits federal tax money from being used to fund abortion. Yes...he has always supported it. Up until the last few weeks (days). So yes, it looks political. There are several issues he has flipped on over the years. He is a very weak candidate because of it. The ads are easy to write: Just have Joe debating himself.

    That's what it looks like to me m2c. Thanks for the corroboration. So the Hyde Amendment just means no federal money will be given to it? Makes sense to me.
    Now Joe sez it's OK? Does look very weak. Besides I don 't want another OLD WHITE MAN with baggage to be prez. So sue me!  :(
