Indeed, the Vice President is pro-choice, according to NARAL rating.

The fact that the sizable number of the senators are Jewish, and the President's adviser Axelrod is Jewish, does not necessarily have increased the amount of the military aids to Israel. Indeed, the sources say the US would withhold veto when the East Jerusalem settlement issue comes to UN.
