The context does not make it any better. He is stating his sincerely held belief as a conservative Catholic. He is stating his belief that had guided his policymaking for decades. It's why he was blindsided by the Dobbs decision. Yes, he supports access to abortion, but as the quote shows, it's always been more about realpolitik than a sincere belief in the right to abortion

Sure, it doesn't make it any better... if you ignore the “Pass Roe v. Wade as the law of the land" part. He's saying that abortion should be legal even if he personally isn't in favor of it.

Why does he personally have to be in favor of it? Why do his personal feelings matter more than what he thinks should be legal?

His personal feelings help explain the decisions he made over the years, such as deciding that Anita Hill was a liar

What part of him saying abortion needs to be legal are you missing here?

Also, what do his personal feelings on abortion have to do with Anita Hill?

You're not making any sense.

I get that you don't like Biden. That's fine. I don't like him much either. But that's not a reason to be irrational and take quotes out of context.
