This was great! Much too intelligent for most of us. Certainly too intelligent for those individuals who seek to place a woman's life and worth below the true value that women bring to society.Yeah, I am not a particular Buttigieg fan (at least relative to many other Ds), and I don't entirely agree with his position, but he does an excellent job making his point here, and it is a very good point which everyone should take seriously - in the overwhelming majority of cases it is certainly not as though women get to the 3rd trimester and suddenly decide to get an abortion for no good reason. If they didn't want to have a child, for the most part things would not have gotten that far along in the first place.
That said, where Buttigieg goes wrong in my view is that he jumps from that fact to the point where he simply outright dismisses the possibility that in any cases at all that might
not be true, and as a result doesn't offer any sort of answer for any such cases. In other words, he doesn't really take the question fully seriously. That doesn't make for a philosophically sound argument, though he does a good job of making it sound persuasive on a more immediate political level of course.
