MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. — U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says the potential rollback of abortion rights could mark a watershed moment in American history, where civil rights are rescinded rather than expanded.
"The broader question that is before us now is did we live to see the high-water mark of rights and freedoms in this country?" Buttigieg asked Wednesday during an appearance at the Detroit Regional Chamber's Mackinac Policy Conference.
He added in an interview with The Detroit News: "I don't think it stops at Roe."
