Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg suggested Friday that unborn babies can be aborted up until they draw their first breath, saying parts of the Bible mention how life begins with breath.
The South Bend, Indiana, mayor spoke with The Breakfast Club on Friday morning about his comprehensive Douglass Plan, his thoughts on whether America is ready for a gay president, and whether black voters should vote for him.
Buttigieg discussed how the Bible talks about life beginning with breath, and suggested this would be one way to determine when life began in relation to abortion debates.

He said Republicans hold everyone in line with doctrine about abortion.
which is obviously a tough issue for a lot of people to think through morally, Buttigieg said. Then again, theres a lot of parts of the Bible that talk about how life begins with breath, and so even that is something that we can interpret differently.
He added that hes pro-choice.
I think, no matter what you think about the kind of cosmic question of how life begins, most Americans can get on board with the idea of, alright, I might draw the line here, you might draw the line there, but the most important thing is the person who should be drawing the line is the woman making the decision, the South Bend mayor continued.
This is not the first time Buttigieg has spoken out about his views on abortion. He criticized pro-life Republicans on Aug. 21 at a town hall, asking what Republicans do for unplanned parenthood.
They are so busy attacking Planned Parenthood, Buttigieg said. Id like to know what they think of unplanned parenthood.
Buttigieg also defended a womans right to late-term abortions at a Fox News town hall in May.
I think the dialogue has gotten so caught up on where you draw the line, that weve gotten away from the fundamental question of who gets to draw the line, and I trust women to draw the line when its their life, Buttigieg told Fox News Chris Wallace.
Wallace then asked if he would be okay with a woman, well into the third trimester, deciding to abort her pregnancy.
The bottom line is, as horrible as that choice is, that woman, that family, may seek spiritual guidance, they may seek medical guidance, but that decision isnt going to be made any better, medically or morally, because the government is dictating how that decision should be made, said Buttigieg, after asking Wallace to put himself in the shoes of the woman in that situation.
Buttigiegs campaign did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundations request for comment.
Homo expert on the bible, what does he think he is, a priest?
This pervert seeks to violate all of the Ten Commandments as well as The Constitution!!!
The RATS are EVIL personified!!!
Ouch, that leaves a mark.
This man is the Antichrist, or thinks he is.
Of course, because every butt banger is a biblical authority.
Progressives have more excuses for killing humans than any mass-murdering regime in history.
The more helpless their intended victim the more excuses they have.
Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate! The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose its easy way.
Pete’s job is to draw a remark from an evangelical so his campaign can fundraise off of it. That’s it. This clown is underwater with the black vote and with that he sure as Hell isn’t going to be the nominee because blacks traditionally are pro-family.
When Elizabeth heard Marys greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Go f*** yourself, Pete.

Hope that even many Democrats will hear this and realize that, despite his book ‘intelligence’, this person is, imho, ignorant, without morals.......ugh...can’t even find words to describe the low opinion I have of this person. He makes me sick!
Job 3:16; Psalm 51:5; Psalm 139:1316; Isaiah 44:24; Isaiah 49:1; Isaiah 49:5; Jeremiah 1:5; Jeremiah 20:1518; Luke 1:36; Luke 1:44
16 Or why was I not as a hidden pstillborn child,
as infants who never see the light?
5 Behold, fI was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
13 For you eformed my inward parts;
you fknitted me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.1
gWonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 hMy frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in ithe depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your jbook were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
24 Thus says the LORD, eyour Redeemer,
fwho formed you from the womb:
gI am the LORD, who made all things,
hwho alone stretched out the heavens,
who spread out the earth by myself,
The Servant of the Lord
49 Listen to me, kO coastlands,
and give attention, you peoples lfrom afar.
mThe LORD called me from the womb,
from the body of my mother he named my name.
5 rAnd now the LORD says,
he mwho formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
and that Israel might be gathered to him
for sI am honored in the eyes of the LORD,
and my God has become my strength
5 iBefore I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born jI consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet kto the nations.
15 Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father,
A son is born to you,
omaking him very glad.
16 Let that man be like pthe cities
that the LORD overthrew without pity;
qlet him hear a cry in the morning
and an alarm at noon,
17 rbecause he did not kill me in the womb;
so my mother would have been my grave,
and her womb forever great.
18 sWhy did I come out from the womb
tto see toil and sorrow,
and spend my days in shame?
36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her owho was called barren.
44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.

From Luke Ch 1: “At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40 where she entered Zechariahs home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Marys greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43.”
This guy butt-itch-itch is a son of the prince of darkness. Neither fetus in the above passage has “taken a breath” yet but the Bible clearly states that both are babies. Furthermore, these babies are already reliant on oxygen which is being supplied by the mother via the umbilical cord via arterial blood supply. Hmmm.
If it's not a life, what's so horrible about it?
So he supports conversion therapy being available to those who want it.
Pete degrades my opinion of homosexuals every time he opens his mouth.
