Why Pete Buttigieg’s ‘late-term abortion’ comments are going viral
Pete Buttigieg is no longer on the campaign trail, but he is all over social media this weekbecause checkmark users likeBusy Phillipsare sharing the way he shut down some misinformation about abortion.Way back in May 2019, when Buttigieg was a running for the Democratic presidential nomination, hewas asked during a Fox News town hall hosted by by Chris Wallace whether there should be a limit ona pregnant person’s ability to access abortion.Buttigieg’s response was incredibly thoughtful and reflected the painful experiences of a smallpercentage of mothers who seek abortions later in pregnancy.“I think the dialogue has gotten so caught up on where you draw the line that we’ve gotten awayfrom the fundamental question ofwhogets to draw the line and I trust women to draw the line when it’s their own health,” Buttigiegresponded.“Let’s put ourselves in the shoes of a woman in that situation,” Buttigieg said. “If it’s that latein your pregnancy, then almost by definition, you’ve been expecting to carry it to term…[Familiesthen] get the most devastating medical news of their lifetime, something about the health or thelife of the mother or viability of the pregnancy that forces them to make an impossible,unthinkable choice.”According to Buttigieg, “The bottom line is, as horrible as that choice is…that decision is notgoing to be made any better, medically or morally, because the government is dictating how thatdecision should be made.”According to the CDC, 91% of abortions in America happen at or before 13 weeks gestation, and only 1.3% of abortionshappen at or beyond 21 weeks of gestation.Abortion is a divisive topic, but it is one that America is talking about right now and we can’t ignore the facts during thediscussion.That’s why Buttigieg’s comments have resurfaced and are going viral. This is a topic where nuanceand continued discussion is important.“I trust women to draw the line.” @PeteButtigieg when asked about term limits onabortion. https://t.co/iwaXsFxXtz
