A video has been making the rounds across social media that shows 2020 Democrat presidential candidate, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, of a pro-life Democrat woman asking what he will do to make the party that claims to be inclusive include pro-life voters within their ranks.
Buttigieg, in so many words, basically told her and pro-lifers like her to kick rocks.
“I support the position of my party that this kind of medical care needs to be available to everyone,” Buttigieg said. “I support the Roe v. Wade framework that holds that early in pregnancy there are very few restrictions and late in pregnancy there are very few exceptions. And again, the best I can offer is that we may disagree on that very important issue and hopefully, we’ll be able to partner on other issues.”
First off, abortions aren’t “medical care,” they’re an elective procedure that results in the death of a developing, but healthy baby. To call it “medical care” suggests that abortion helps someone stay healthy or saves their life, and unless there is a condition where the baby must be aborted in order to prevent the mother from dying, then this is simply the opposite of “health.”
He was also opposed to adding more moderate language into the Democrat party platform.
“I respect where you are coming from and I hope to earn your vote. But I’m not going to try to earn your vote by tricking you. I am pro-choice. I believe that a woman ought to be able to make that decision,” Buttigieg said.
Side note: I’ve always been fascinated by the fact that Democrats call the position of being for abortion “pro-choice.” It’s clearly an attempt to distract from the act of abortion and put the position as a position of giving someone the option to kill a baby if they want to. If the abortion wasn’t the horrible thing they’ve been trying to tell us it’s not, then they would just straight-up call it “pro-abortion.” They don’t, because they want to also pretend they aren’t “for it” but it’s hard to defend that position when your people are shouting “abortion on demand and without apology.”
But what struck me as interesting is that Buttigieg highlighted the fact that Democrats aren’t willing to listen to at all to the many pro-lifers within their party, yet they want to give a whole variety of others a say in what happens in our society…including those who aren’t even in our society legally.
Many Democrats have considered illegal aliens to be their constituency and have promoted the idea of opening the borders and letting them in to vote on what happens in our country. This includes everyone from the leader of the Democrat party, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi…

…to the unofficial leader of the Democrat Party, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Buttigieg himself nodded along as it was suggested by someone that the illegal immigrants aren’t actually illegal, they’re just reclaiming stolen land.
“And we need to talk about that – and shouldn’t we have some conversation whenever people say, we call people ‘illegal aliens’ and all these things that are not human, are certainly not Christian,” Reverend William Barber while interviewing Buttigieg.
“Why can’t we just own in America that some of the people that are trying to come from Mexico here are coming back to land we stole, and the reason we took the land is because people wanted to keep their slaves?”
As you can see, Buttigieg nodded along as Barber said this.

As the Washington Times covered in March of last year, Democrats voted to expand voting rights to illegal immigrants:
House Democrats voted Friday to defend localities that allow illegal immigrants to vote in their elections, turning back a GOP attempt to discourage the practice.
The vote marks a stunning reversal from just six months ago, when the chamber — then under GOP control — voted to decry illegal immigrant voting.
“We are prepared to open up the political process and let all of the people come in,” Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat and hero of the civil rights movement, told colleagues as he led opposition to the GOP measure.
You see the picture here?
Democrats are more than willing to sweep you under the rug and exclude you if you wish for more moderation when it comes to certain issues. You don’t belong in the party, and while Buttigieg wasn’t forceful about it, other Democrats have been.
In 2018, Missouri Democrats put a welcoming of “a diversity of views on abortion” into its platform but then quickly reversed the vote and deleted the addition.
Your views don’t apparently matter to Democrats, yet somehow those who aren’t even Americans do. They want them to vote in their elections, yet your opinion means a bit less and they would prefer you to keep your opinions out of things.
At the end of the day, the Democrats don’t seem interested in a lot of things that you’re concerned about, and the highest thing on their list is obtaining and maintaining power. Everything to that end is merely a tool. They don’t really seem to care about the person. To them, you’re a means to an end.
If tomorrow it suddenly benefited the Democrat party to be pro-life, they would worship at the feet of the woman who asked Buttigieg for more moderate language in the Democrat party platform. If they found that they would obtain power by cracking down on illegal immigration, they would be more gung-ho about it than any Republican ever has been.
Everyone, from the baby in the womb to the illegal immigrant is just a means to an end, not a person.
Vote accordingly.
