When asked if he supports some restrictions on abortion, Biden said he “supports Roe v. Wade, which had three trimesters. The first time is between a woman and a doctor. Second time is between a doctor and an extreme situation. A third time is between the doctor, I mean, between the women and the state.”

It's Joever

...as opposed to Trump ranting about deciding whether or not to abort after the baby is born?

It's not the best explanation of the Roe v Wade view of things, but it's far from the worst and a damn sight better than anything any Republican is going to say on the topic.

What's wrong with that answer? It makes sense to me. There's a little verbal flub but otherwise it sounds alright.

Don't you see?!? It's the worst thing ever! Even worse than Trump constantly lying about easily verified facts and being unable to answer most of the questions!

Cool. Can you translate it into English for me? Because I didn't follow it.

[–] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 5 points 5 months ago

Haha I saw it as meaning in the first trimester a woman can get an abortion with just telling her doctor and having complete privacy without anyone else getting involved. In the second trimester, a doctor may get involved if there's a medical emergency if they need to without the state being involved. I guess in the third trimester, and only then, is it up to each state if they want to get involved. There was some verbal weirdness in the way he said it, but I thought that was the general idea.

It doesn’t make any sense to me.

Well, apparently he doesn't know what a fucking trimester is.

It makes no fucking sense to me at all, whatsoever.
