FULL TITLE: Buttigieg backs up women who have THIRD trimester abortions as he tells Fox News audience that government doesn't make 'impossible, unthinkable choice' any better – even for women who've picked baby names and cribs

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said Sunday that governments shouldn't stand in the way of women who want to seek abortions in the final three months of their pregnancies.

The South Bend, Indiana mayor allowed that women who are six, seven or eight months into their pregnancies have 'perhaps chosen a name' or 'purchased a crib.'

But Fox News Channel moderator Chris Wallace found no flexibility in his pro-choice stand.

'As horrible as that choice is,' Buttigieg said, 'that woman – that family may seek spiritual guidance, they may seek medical guidance – but that decision's not going to be made any better medically or morally because the government is dictating how that decision should be made.'

Six thousand women in America each year choose to terminate their pregnancies less than three months before their due-dates, instead of carrying the babies to term. That represents less than 1 per cent of the roughly 700,000 U.S. abortions each year.

Pro-life advocates have seen late-term abortions as a largely rhetorical firewall in public debates – an extreme that renders more common examples less comfortable.

Some in pro-choice circles, however, have begun to push the envelope, including Democrats in New York and Virginia this year.

The United States is one of just seven countries that permit elective abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

The 37-year-old Buttigieg, making his first run at an office with more than 100,000 constituents, would be America's youngest-ever president if he were to move into the Oval Office in 2021.

I find it interesting (ok, fishy, actually) that major media is furiously pimping this guy.

The New York Times printed his wedding announcement???
And stated in the wedding announcement that he might be our next President????
And this was last year when even die-hard news junkies had never heard of him?????

WTF??

Now we’re told he’s getting standing O’s everywhere?
Bullshit.
This is orchestrated nonsense.

I’ve read that some do it because they broke up with their husband or boyfriend. Some couldn’t make up their minds. Others either took a while to save up money or didn’t relalize they were pregnant.

From the article:

“Six thousand women in America each year choose to terminate their pregnancies less than three months before their due-dates, instead of carrying the babies to term. That represents less than 1 per cent of the roughly 700,000 U.S. abortions each year.”
