Former President Joe Biden was presented with the 2026 Sonia Schorr Sloan Service Award by Planned Parenthood at a gala in Delaware on Thursday. He appeared alongside former first lady Jill Biden. During his remarks, Biden called on Democrats to vote and to restore dignity to elected office. He described the current period as 'dark days' but expressed confidence in the country's ability to overcome crises. ## Disagreement on award name While most reports state that Joe Biden received the Sonia Schorr Sloan Service Award, one right-rated outlet suggested the award should be named after Kermit Gosnell, a doctor convicted of murder and infanticide, and referred to Planned Parenthood as an 'abortion biz'. Another right-rated outlet stated the award was for his 'abortion record'. ## What the coverage left out None of the left-rated reports covered this story. The centre-rated digests did not mention the specific name of the award Biden received, only that it was a service award from Planned Parenthood. The right-rated digests did not include any direct quotes from Joe Biden's remarks at the event. ## Who covered it Shares of the 16 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 50% (8) - Right: 50% (8) 3 of 19 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-09-27T13:19:05.861Z. **Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 3 times; 0 checks found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-09-27T17:30:22.805Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left No separate framing summary. ### Centre - The centre-rated reports focused on Joe Biden receiving the 2026 Sonia Schorr Sloan Service Award from Planned Parenthood and his subsequent remarks. These reports highlighted Biden's call for Democrats to vote and to restore dignity to elected office, framing the current times as 'dark days'. The presence of Jill Biden at the event was also noted. The reports mentioned Biden's lament over the Supreme Court decision that overturned abortion rights nationally and its impact on state-level restrictions. ### Right - Right-rated reports focused on Joe Biden receiving an award from Planned Parenthood, often referring to the organization as an 'abortion giant' or 'abortion biz'. These reports frequently questioned Biden's status as a 'faithful Catholic' given the award. Some digests suggested the award ceremony did not go well or that Biden delivered a 'rambling' or 'incoherent' speech. One report suggested the award should be named after Kermit Gosnell, and another stated the award was for his 'abortion record'. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
