Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who maybe won the Iowa Caucus, recently went on “The View”, where Meghan McCain, one of the few conservative voices on the show, grilled him about his stance on infanticide.
WATCH:
Pete Buttigieg defends late-term abortion.
He claims late-term abortions are due to fetal abnormalities. That’s FALSE. Less than 10% are for fetal issues.
Let’s not pretend a disabled baby is a good excuse to kill a baby anyway.
Buttigieg is radical.

The response against Buttigieg’s view was swift.
National Review noted, “There are several key flaws in Buttigieg’s response. For one thing, he relies on a common tactic of abortion-rights defenders, which is to misstate the facts about late-term abortion. As I’ve written before on NRO, women in the U.S. do obtain abortions after 20 weeks for reasons other than, as Buttigieg puts it, having received “devastating news.” His implication is, of course, that abortions after viability only take place in emergencies, in cases where there is a severe health complication with either the baby or the mother (though he doesn’t quite come out and say this because it’s more rhetorically effective to hedge that claim).”
Fox News wrote, “Pro-life leaders responded en masse on Thursday after former South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg appeared to condone infanticide and late-term abortions during an appearance on “The View.”
Pro-life Twitter also quickly hit back at Buttigieg:
It's call science, Mayor Pete. It's not about religion. Human life begins when egg (from mother) and sperm (from father) unite creating a brand new human person, with an unique DNA code, who is unrepeatable. #ScienceNotReligion https://t.co/oFyWIq8ONV

I have ZERO tolerance for Christians who claim to a moral high ground and then can't tell the truth about when life begins and when it should be protected in order to advance their own political career. Go home, Mayor Pete, and save the justice campaign for this #prolifegen. https://t.co/oFyWIq8ONV

this shouldn't be a difficult question for you to answer, @PeteButtigieg.@MeghanMcCain is right. You're extremely radical on late-term abortion & infanticide. This will hurt your campaign. https://t.co/vooIXbvu6y

We’ve wondered before if the Democratic Party would make legalized infanticide part of its platform in 2020.
Will The Democratic Party Make Infanticide Part Of Its 2020 Agenda?
Who wants to take bets on this??
