Ultimately he's attempting to trick people into a position of " See you do consider the harm to the fetus you evil pro not forced pregnancy hypocrites Victory for the forces of Anti-choice" In reality, the actual concern is for the women. Though she can nonetheless do the thing in question.

I really hate that kind of backhanded passive-aggressive nonsense. I find it condescending and disingenuous.
