U.S. - Mayor Pete Buttigieg has come under fire after claiming that life only begins when you register as a Democrat.

"Many conservative 'Christians' have bought into this lie that life begins at conception," Buttigieg said during a radio interview. "This flies in the face of basic biology, which teaches us that life begins when you register as a Democrat."

Buttigieg went on to say that women can kill their children all the way up until the point when they choose to register as a Democrat since they are not humans up until that "miraculous moment."

"There's a lot of parts of the Bible that talk about how life begins with that first vote you cast," he went on. "Even that is something that we can interpret differently from those dumb, backward Christians who insist on a literal, biological definition of life. But most sensible Americans can get on board with the idea of, 'I might draw the line at voting for a far-left candidate, you might draw the line at the point when that first registration card is sent in.'"

"The important thing is that we arbitrarily declare when a person becomes a person," he added.

Buttigieg also made the claim that a person still continues to be a living, breathing person and a valued member of the Democratic party long after they die.
