“For those who have a strong view about some of these almost unknowable questions around life, the best answer I can give, is that because we will never be able to settle those questions, in a consensus fashion,” he said in response to a question about abortion limits.
Buttigieg commented on the issue of abortion during a conversation with Washington Post reporter Robert Costa.
When asked to clarify his claim that it was “unknowable” when life began, he continued: “It’s certainly unknowable in the way that scientific questions are answered, it’s a moral question.”
He argued that government should not draw any legal limits on abortion, leaving the choice solely to pregnant women.
“It’s not how we politically decide where the line ought to be drawn, the question is who gets to draw the line,” he said, calling the idea part of the framework of Roe vs. Wade.
“Roe vs. Wade is widely popular in this country because it has allowed to us to negotiate that,” he said.
And his Audience cheers..
