"My religion defines who I am, and I’ve been a practicing
Catholic my whole life. And has particularly informed my social
doctrine. The Catholic social doctrine talks about taking care of those
who — who can’t take care of themselves, people who need help. With
regard to...abortion, I accept my church’s position on
abortion...Life begins at
conception in the church’s judgment. I accept it in my personal life.
But I refuse to impose it on equally devout Christians and Muslims
and Jews, and I just refuse to impose that on others...I do not believe that we have a right
to tell other people that — women they can’t control their body. It’s a
decision between them and their doctor. In my view and the Supreme
Court, I’m not going to interfere with that."
-Vice President Joe Biden
