Buttigieg also argues that the Bible can be understood as teaching that human life only begins with the first breath (thereby sanctioning abortion since this prevents the infant from ever actually taking a breath), and misappropriates the Bible by making Christ's words on helping the poor (which often relates to being poor/humble in spirit) as justifying liberal (impoverishing) socialism.<ref>Morris, Alex (November 20, 2019).
