“And I trust women to draw the line.”
Wallace pointed to late term abortions and asked Buttigieg what his position was in back-and-forth.
“You would be okay with a woman well into the third trimester to obtain an abortion?” Wallace asked.
“These hypotheticals are set up to provoke a strong emotional reaction,” Buttigieg said.
“These aren’t hypotheticals — there are 6,000 women a year who get an abortion in the third trimester,” Wallace said.
“That’s right, representing less than one percent of cases a year,” Buttigieg replied. The data from 2019 appears to support his claim, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
