I agree. If one believes what he says, then how does this law extend the right of justifiable homicide beyond what already exists?
In my state, there is an alter ego statute. In short, if the person being attacked has the legal right to self defense, one can act on their behalf and execute that right. For example, if you see a person being raped in an alley, you could draw your firearm and shoot the perp. You would not be prosecuted. So, the scenario he lays out, the woman has the right to defend herself. The new boyfriend of the woman has the right to defend her (alter ego). The father of the woman has the right to defend her (alter ego). etc.
I wish he just had the balls to say, "Yeah, this law lets the father of the unborn child shoot the doctor about to perform the abortion." and let the chips fall where the may legislatively and professionally. Instead, he had to say something as stupid as this bill appears to be.
