(CNSNews.com) - When asked whether President Joe Biden supports any limits on abortion, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that “he supports the right of a woman to make choices about her own body with her doctor.”

“The president’s position on choice has evolved over time, so just checking for his official position. Does he support any limits on abortion right now?” Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked.

PSAKI: Peter, the president has spoken — has talked about his position many times. He supports the right of a woman to make choices about her own body with her doctor.

DOOCY: But I know that one of the Democrats that he endorsed and — who won their primary this week, Tim Ryan, said yesterday that he does not support any limits on abortion. Is that where the president’s thinking is now?

PSAKI: The president has stated his view many times.

DOOCY: So does the president support abortion up until the moment of birth?

PSAKI:  The president has spoken about this many times, Peter, and I would refer you to his own comments about abortion and a woman’s right to choose and make decisions about her body with her doctor, which is what any of those women would do.
