        this doesn’t really attack any GOP ideas

        But it does. It directly counters their anti-abortion stance.

          He’s stating that he supports abortion rights. That’s not an actual attack on what Republicans believe.

              But he’s not attacking their stance. He’s not saying to them that they should change their minds because of this, this and that reason. He is simply stating that he (Biden) supports abortion rights and that’s probably aimed at the tiny percent of Fox News watchers that might actually support rights - specifically Republican women, I would guess. There are some (a small number, but still some) Republicans who see that this latest push by their own party against abortion is a bridge too far.
