Former vice president and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden reiterated his support Wednesday for the Hyde Amendment which bars federal funding from going toward abortion procedures, and which he voted for as a senator in 1976 after he told a constituent in South Carolina last month that it cant stay.

The Democratic front-runners campaign told HuffPost that he misheard the constituent, and thought he was responding to a question about the so-called Mexico City policy, the global gag rule that bans organizations abroad from providing any information about abortion or offering abortion services if they are funded by the U.S. NBC noted on Wednesday that the campaign and the candidate appeared to be at odds on Hyde.

To clarify, Biden has not at this point changed his position on the Hyde Amendment, his campaign said, and contended that the Hyde Amendment does not prevent organizations in the U.S. that provide lifesaving health care services for women from receiving the federal funding they need. The amendment now includes exceptions for when the life of the mother is at risk or in cases of rape or incest, the campaign noted in a follow-up email.
