It's not well said. It's a statement that doesn't even begin to make sense unless you assume from the start that abortion is more like buying clothes than killing kids. And even then, it's poorly phrased at best.
"Laws that control people's lives like that" are ESSENTIAL. We
should control whether one steals, whether one bears false witness, whether one assaults, whether one murders. Those feelings of outrage you feel when you hear about Enron or Abu Ghirab? Those feelings
should control other peoples' lives.
There's reasonable debate in whether abortion is really similar enough to such things to warrant emotion-controlling laws. But this broad line of argument, as stated, is plainly absurd.
