Pete Buttigieg Refuses to Give a Stance on Partial Birth Abortion

‘My point is it shouldn’t be up to a government official to draw the line’

EXCERPT:

McCAIN: "If a woman wanted to invoke infanticide after a baby was born, you would be okay with that?"
BUTTIGIEG: "Does anybody seriously think that's what these cases are about? Think about the situation. If this is a late-term situation, then by definition it’s one where a woman was expecting to carry the pregnancy to term. Then she gets the most, perhaps, devastating news of her life. We’re talking about families that may have picked out a name, maybe assembling a crib, and they learn something, excruciating, and are faced with this terrible choice. And I don’t know what to tell them morally about what they should do. I just know that I trust her and her decision, medically or morally, isn’t going to be any better because the government is commanding her to do it a certain way."
