No, Biden hasn't supported gay marriage 'throughout his career' Analysis from dcexaminer Politics Editor JimAntle:
Of course, President Joe Biden supports the Respect for Marriage Act, his spokeswoman said. He has always been on this side of history!
But when that day finally arrived, Biden instantly became “a leading advocate, a leading voice,” as Jean-Pierre described him, for “marriage equality,” right? Again, none of this should be surprising. This federal gay marriage ban passed the Senate by a vote of 85 to 14. The House vote for its enactment was 342 to 65. President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, signed it into law. A Gallup poll taken that year found only 27% supported same-sex marriage, while 68% were opposed.
“Nobody’s violated that law. There’s been no challenge to that law. Why do we need a constitutional amendment?” he said on NBC’s Meet the Press in 2006. “Marriage is between a man and a woman.” The tension this caused with Obama, who had not yet announced his own reversal on the issue, has been in the news recently with the publication of a book about their relationship and the former president’s return to the White House for his official portrait unveiling. So little of this should be a closely guarded secret.

South Carolina Senate moves to further restrict access to abortions(Reuters) -The South Carolina Senate on Thursday approved a bill tightening an abortion ban that is blocked by the state's highest court, following two days of fierce debate between anti-abortion Republicans and more moderate lawmakers from both parties. The bill the Senate approved would cut exceptions for rape and incest to the first trimester of pregnancy, not 20 weeks as the existing law provides. The South Carolina House earlier approved a near-total ban on abortions but Republican backers of the bill relaxed it after it became clear they lacked the Senate votes for a broad ban.
