Does Biden's flip on the Hyde Amendmant make him look "woke" or just another crass oportunistic politician?

Back in the seventies Biden was anti-Roe -- marching in the annual March for Life, along with Democrats such as Jesse Jackson and Harry Reid (the Democratic Party was the Party of Life back then --it was a WASP Republican Court which did Roe).

But then he took the familiar politically opportunistic cop out "personally opposed to abortion but not going to impose his beliefs on others" and was an earnest supporter of the Hyde amendment (since half of taxpayers are morally opposed to abortion not going to use their money to fund it) and he would try to wear his Catholicism on his sleeve.

Opportunistic. The Hyde amendment is disgusting.
