Earlier today, pro-aborts were up in arms over the news that Joe Biden supports the Hyde Amendment (which may or may not be true, depending on when and whom you ask).
There’s NO political or ideological excuse for @JoeBiden’s support for the Hyde Amendment, which translates into discrimination against poor women and women of color plain and simple. His position further endangers people already facing enormous hurdles. https://t.co/3jDleIq077

Biden’s fellow Democratic presidential hopefuls didn’t waste any time reiterating their commitment to ensuring that taxpayers be forced to fund abortions:
No woman's access to reproductive health care should be based on how much money she has. We must repeal the Hyde Amendment.

There is #NoMiddleGround on women’s rights. Abortion is a constitutional right. Under my Medicare for All plan, we will repeal the Hyde Amendment.

I asked @ewarren just now about Biden’s support of Hyde. She said she “will lead the fight to have it overturned.”
Pressed on if D nominee can hold that position: “it’s not about the politics, its about whats right. The Hyde amendment should not be American law.” pic.twitter.com/zeghcybARk

Repealing the Hyde Amendment is critical so that low-income women in particular can have access to the reproductive care they need and deserve.
Reproductive rights are human rights, period. They should be nonnegotiable for all Democrats.

No matter your income or where you live, every woman should have access to health care including abortion. https://t.co/UqTwmmMFDD

Bill de Blasio, who’s still running for president for some reason, also wanted his followers to know that he won’t stand for anyone who doesn’t stand for repealing the Hyde Amendment:
The Hyde Amendment only hurts low income women, especially women of color. If you don’t support repeal, you shouldn’t be the Democratic nominee. https://t.co/wt46V3p16z

But because he’s Bill de Blasio, here’s how he did it:
And when it comes to supporting American women on issues like repealing the Hyde Amendment, @JoeBiden is Dr. Jekyll.
— Bill de Blasio (@BilldeBlasio) June 5, 2019
Come for the bad take, stay for the sweet ratio:
He deserves every bit of it.
Dr Jekyll was the good guy. It’s ok, most kids coming out of the NYC public school system wouldn’t know that either. pic.twitter.com/PwoWBqH4RE

Um. This is super cringe worthy. How about this—drop the presidential try and focus on two things: help your city AND read some classical literature.

DUDE! Mr. Hyde was the bad guy, who you know, murdered people. And you want to be president? https://t.co/56mqRI08S6

So he’s got that going for him.
