 According to him, a mother had to carry a baby that was incompatible with life for nine months because abortion was illegal. Let's assume in those instances that the baby is only able to live within the womb, but dies after birth. That is a tragedy. But trying to conflate that rare and heartbreaking scenario with the unbridled termination of human life that happens in abortion is just wrong. Goodness preserves life even when it seems unlikely, but abortion gives way to the preemptive destruction of human life. People always go to the most extreme scenarios in order to justify abortion because they know they can't defend it otherwise.
