At an Atlanta fundraiser for his 2020 presidential campaign, former Vice President Joe Biden publicly reversed his position on the Hyde Amendment, now saying he could no longer support its ban on federal funding of abortions.

“I can’t justify leaving millions of women without access to the care they need and the ability to exercise their constitutionally protected right,” Biden said. “If I believe healthcare is a right, as I do, I can no longer support an amendment that makes that right dependent on someone’s zip code.”

Biden had drawn heavy criticism from others in the Democratic Party just 24 hours earlier, when his campaign reiterated that Biden did support the controversial amendment that has been in place in various versions since 1976. The amendment has been altered since its original passage several times, to make exceptions for the life of the mother, as well as cases of rape and incest.

“This is incredible,” said CNN political analyst Kirsten Powers, who has described herself as both “pro choice and pro life.” “It was just yesterday that he was basically, his campaign was saying that he wasn’t going to reverse his position. He obviously knows what the Hyde Amendment is. It’s not like this is suddenly news to him. And so this is a clear cave to the pressure that he was getting, because it’s not like he got new information.”

Notably, 2020 opponent Elizabeth Warren gave a succinct, yet powerful rebuttal to Biden’s position in her MSNBC town hall just the day before.
