Pete Buttigieg Cites Religion To Defend Late-Term Abortion Of Disabled Children
[The Federalist] Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg doubled down on his support for late-term, partial-birth abortions during an episode of ABC’s "The View" Thursday in a spar with conservative host Meghan McCain.

After McCain asked the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, to clarify his seemingly radical abortion views, that the Bible says "life begins with breath, so even that is something we can interpret differently," Buttigieg replied:
Well, I’m just pointing to the fact that different people will interpret their own moral lights, and for that matter, interpret Scripture differently. But we live in a country where it is extremely important that no one person have to be subjected to some other person’s interpretation of their own religion. I know we’re not going to agree ‐

McCain cut in, honing in on the partial-birth abortion question, saying, "Partial-birth abortion is something that was coming up, like I said, [Virginia] Gov. [Ralph] Northam ‐ it was a huge controversy when he was running for governor ‐ and I think people, even Democrats, and there are a lot of pro-life Democrats in the country, want to know exactly where your line is, because you’ll be the president if you win."

Buttigieg deflected, making the question solely about women’s rights and feminist talking points. "Right, but my point is that it shouldn’t be up to a government official to draw the line," he said. "It should be up to the woman who is confronted with the choice." The room erupted in applause.

"So if a woman wanted to ‐ I don’t know ‐ invoke infanticide after a baby was born, you’d be comfortable with that?" McCain asked.

"Does anybody serious think that’s what these cases are about?" Buttigieg deflected again, saying:

#3 Adam was formed from the dust of the ground, not from womb. The breath that entered Adam was from the creator, not when Adam took his first breath. Each person is known to the creator before that person is even conceived, therefore, a human being is life before conception, during formation in the womb, after birth and after even after death.

#6 it shouldn’t be up to a government official to draw the line," he said.

Did he just disown Roe vs. Wade? That was decided by government officials, right?

#7 Given his proclivities, Buttgag will most likely never have a biological child, so he has no problem taking a "blood for Baal" approach to these questions.
