Former Vice President Joe Biden once took a middle-of-the-road approach to the abortion debate, a video from 2006 reveals.

The Democratic 2020 presidential hopeful spoke to Texas Monthly in a 2006 interview later uploaded to YouTube in 2008 about his approach to abortion he said drew anger from both Republicans and Democrats. CNN’s KFile unearthed the video Thursday.

Biden explains in the video that he was “a little bit of an odd man out” in the Democratic party since he did not vote for funding of abortion and voted against partial birth abortion. Biden added that though he voted against partial-birth abortion he also votes for no restrictions on women’s access to abortions.

“I made everybody angry,” Biden says in the video. “I made the right-to-life people angry because I won’t support a constitutional amendment or limitations on a woman’s right to exercise her constitutional right as defined by Roe v. Wade.”

“And I’ve made the groups — the women’s groups and others — very angry because I won’t support public funding and I won’t support partial birth abortion,” Biden added.

The former vice president said that because of this, he foresaw his presidential bid being “very difficult.”

“I do not view abortion as a choice and a right,” Biden said. “I think it’s always a tragedy, and I think that it should be rare and safe, and I think we should be focusing on how to limit the number of abortions. There ought to be able to have a common ground and consensus as to do that.”
