Buttigieg Draws On Bible, Suggests Unborn Babies Can Be Aborted Up Until Their First Breath
Daily Caller ^ | SEPT. 6, 2019 | Mary Margaret Olohan

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, there’s 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 he’s 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. “I’d like to know what they think of unplanned parenthood.”

Buttigieg also defended a woman’s 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 we’ve gotten away from the fundamental question of who gets to draw the line, and I trust women to draw the line when it’s 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 isn’t 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.

Buttigieg’s campaign did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Satan tried to tempt Jesus using scriptures too.
It didn’t work.

Pete Buttigieg should stop telling God what to do.

I am willing to wager the perv cannot use the Bible to justify his penchant for buggery

“Its very surprising that Bootyjuice knows so much about the Bible, but missed the part about Sodom and Gomorrah...”

Butt-a-gig could use his military service and halfway decent oratory skills and youthful perspective to give some of the dimwits a run for their money, but he clearly has some Biblical issues (I wonder why) that he can’t resist inserting into every comment. Disagreeing with his ideas on climate change is being a bad Christian being the latest.

If you wonder how his polling numbers could get any lower just wait til he speaks again.

Homo expert on the bible, what does he think he is, a priest?

That would be no solution, including (for RCs) the use of the NABRE (official RC Bible for America) which will not use render “porneia” as “sexual immorality” or anything sexual in places such as simply rendering the words for fornication/fornicator as "immorality" or "immoral persons" among the many occurrences of the words for sexual immorality. (Matthew 5:32 Matthew 15:19 Matthew 19:9 Mark 7:21 John 8:41 Acts 15:20 Acts 15:29 Acts 21:25 Romans 1:29 1 Corinthians 5:1 1 Corinthians 5:9 1 Corinthians 5:10 1 Corinthians 5:11 1 Corinthians 6:9 1 Corinthians 6:13 1 Corinthians 6:18 1 Corinthians 5:9 ,10,11; 7:2; 6:9; 1 Corinthians 10:8 2 Corinthians 12:21 Galatians 5:19 Ephesians 5:3 Colossians 3:5 1 Thessalonians 4:3 Hebrews 12:16 Jude 7 Revelation 2:14,20,21; 9:21; 14:8;17:2,4; 18:3,9; 19:2) even though in most cases it is in a sexual context.

In addition to which is the significant homosexual problem in the RC priesthood, which may be related to the above .

But while pro-homosexual authors have spend an inordinate amount of effort seeking to disallow the Biblical condemnation of homosexual relations and even find sanction for the same, yet by the grace of God such sophistry has been exposed and refuted.

For what Ssripture shows is that God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified - and only condemned homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.

Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47

...saying parts of the Bible mention “how life begins with breath.

I wonder if Buttigieg realizes that Satan used scripture to make his case far better than he ever will.

Butt-plug's constituents for the most part don't own a bible and they're not going to go out and buy one to see if he's telling the truth...

I once heard someone in a public forum ask Ken Kesey (of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”) (of all people) when did he think “life” begins, and he answered “When did the Lord become incarnate?” Blew me away.

And then he went on, “But from a secular point of view, these ‘choice’ people, they claim they don’t know when life begins, but they sure know how to end it. If that being in your womb wasn’t alive, you wouldn’t be looking it kill it.”

Everybody, even a little child, would know that. As Benjamin Franklin said, “We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.”
