He says like “well actually having access to abortion doesn’t make women happier” , as if abortion isn’t pretty essential to the happiness of SOME women. But he thinks if women are forced to have babies they’ll realize that they really like it actually, because he’s a wretched dog.
Ah just like the prolife campaigner I argued with recently who said that in his* ideal world, abortion, contraception, and the morning-after pill would all be illegal. Apparently having an abortion is “irresponsible” because you’re acting as if it’s “someone else’s problem”. That really threw me for a loop. I mean, it’s not like you can get someone else to have the abortion for you! He justified a contraception ban along the same lines - that people needed to accept the consequences of having sex, or something. I suggested to him that contraception was actually very effective at preventing abortions, and he frowned as if he couldn’t understand what I was saying.
*Yes, he was a cis man who has never been pregnant or made anyone else pregnant. Sure, what else would you expect?

Bonus points for the part where he rails against contraception and sex education in the appendix, because we all know what this is really about.
