In an April 7, 2019 interview with Chuck Todd on Meet the Press, Buttigieg described himself as pro-choice and when asked about access to abortion, stated:
“The best way for [abortion] to be settled in practice is by the person who actually faces the choice and when a women is facing this decision in her life I think in terms of somebody beside her who can be most useful in that, the answer to that would be a doctor not by a male government official imposing his interpretation of his religion.”
