The left is upset that Joe Biden isn't more enthusiastic about it, dammit:
Biden himself is not a particularly convincing abortion rights advocate. He
is, at best, unenthused about the issue. Biden speaks of abortion in
stilted, euphemistic terms, talking about “restoring the protections of
Roe” or “a woman’s right to choose” more than “abortion”. (He did not
use the word in public remarks until he was forced to after facing
pressure from activists.) On the stump, he frequently ad libs, straying from prepared remarks to
make his dislike of abortion clear. In one set of remarks last year, he
unhelpfully offered that he was “not big on abortion”. In remarks this past week, he characterized his own position using
anti-choice buzzwords, saying he was opposed to “abortion on demand”. ... Biden is talking like he believes that abortion remains a delicate
issue, as if it is something he thinks he will lose by being too strong
on.
