Psaki Shuts Down Male Reporter Questioning Biden on Abortion: ‘You’ve Never Faced Those Choices’

“He believes that it’s a woman’s right, it’s a woman’s body, and it’s her choice,” she told the reporter who pressed her.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki responded to a reporter who pressed her on President Biden’s support for abortion rights on Thursday, telling him, “I know you’ve never faced those choices.” The male reporter had asked Psaki how Biden could be pro-choice when it contradicts his Catholic beliefs. “He believes that it’s a woman’s right, it’s a woman’s body, and it’s her choice,” the press secretary replied. The reporter then followed up by questioning who will “look out for the unborn child?” Psaki reiterated that the president believes it’s up to women, with their doctors, to make their own decisions. “I know you’ve never faced those choices, nor have you ever been pregnant,” Psaki asserted. “For women out there who have faced those choices, this is an incredibly difficult thing. The president believes that right should be respected.”
