In September, Biden appeared to change his stance that life begins at conception while discussing a controversial abortion law in Texas.
“I respect those who believe life begins in the moment of conception – I respect that,” he told reporters. “Don’t agree, but I respect that.”
Before making that statement, Biden had said multiple times dating back to at least 2008 that he believes life begins at conception.

“I’m prepared to accept that at the moment of conception there’s human life and being, but I’m not prepared to say that to other God-fearing, non-God-fearing people that have a different view,” Biden, who identifies as Catholic, said in 2015.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News.
