The Democratic ticket is the one that supports protecting and expanding abortion access. Disaffected conservatives who remain frustrated with President Trump yet value unborn life aren’t going to find solace in Biden-Harris as an option. The last two debates only serve to reaffirm this conclusion.

Coming into the Democratic primary, when he was one of several candidates vying for the nomination, Joe Biden had the wiggle room to sell himself as a moderate on abortion. It was easy since Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and Mayor Pete Buttigieg all stood to his left on the issue. Each represented the extreme aspects of a party looking for a progressive champion, but even before Biden became the official nominee, he gave abortion proponents a reason to be excited at the prospect.
