US presidential candidate Buttigieg flip-flops on abortion

So, Joe Biden is not the only ‘centrist‘ United States Democratic party presidential candidate flip-flopping on women’s rights.

Buttigieg: Abortion Rights Are “Beyond My Pay Grade”

Rebel HQ’s Emma Vigeland breaks down Pete Buttigieg‘s past waffling on the issue of abortion rights.

BUTTIGIEG’S TENSE TOWN HALL Pete Buttigieg, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and mayor of South Bend, Indiana, faced emotional community members at a town hall while trying to answer questions about a white police officer who fatally shot a black man in the city last week. [HuffPost]

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg was exposed as a political hack and apologist for police violence Sunday when he faced jeers from a crowd of angry residents at a town hall meeting in South Bend, Indiana. The meeting was called to address a recent police murder in the working-class city where Buttigieg is mayor. But after leaving the campaign trail in South Carolina, where the Democratic Party had a series of major events for the presidential candidates, Buttigieg could not quell popular anger over the June 16 police shooting of Eric Jack Logan, an African-American father of five, by a white police officer, Sgt. Ryan O’Neill: here.

Buttigieg has been the most aggressive holder of high-dollar fundraisers, attending dozens of such events, particularly in California and the northeast, and raising much of his money from Silicon Valley and Wall Street. His poll numbers have not responded in direct proportion to the build-up, however. He regularly appears in fifth place, making him the lowest in the top tier of candidates. And his campaign received a significant blow in mid-June with the killing of a black resident of South Bend by a white cop, which forced Buttigieg to leave the campaign trail briefly to deal with the crisis: here.

RAPE VICTIM ACQUITTED OF STILLBORN MURDER A young rape victim who was suspected of having an abortion and charged with homicide has been acquitted by a judge at a retrial.
