The comment made at 3:16 misses the point of the "moral Republican" position. Saying, "she doesn't have to have an abortion," is like saying, "If you don't like slavery, don't own a slave," or, "if you don't like murder, then don't commit one." The argument against abortion isn't about what one prefers but is about whether an action is objectively right or wrong. If it's morally wrong to kill innocent human beings, and if the fetus is an innocent human being, then it is morally wrong to kill her
