In Montgomery visit, Pete Buttigieg talks health care; condemns Alabama abortion ban

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg met with representatives of several local groups in Montgomery on Monday and discussed a range of issues from health care to reproductive rights to prison overpopulation.

Buttigieg, 37, the mayor of South Bend, Ind. since 2012, mixed praise for those he said were "courageously helping women obtain health care" in Alabama with criticism of legislators who had "refused to expand Medicaid, and prioritize the withdrawal and assault on women's reproductive rights.

"What we see in Alabama unfortunately among legislators is a refusal to follow the law of the land," said Buttigieg, in the middle of a southern swing. "Roe v. Wade is the law of the land. It has a majority of the American people supporting this framework."

I hope and expect that his unifying message will resonate in Alabama and in other southern states.

That's one reason I think the guy has a very long and even brighter future on the national political stage regardless of how the primaries turn out.
