He wants everyone to have as much freedom and liberty as possible except when it comes to abortion. He wants to pass a law that states that life beings at the moment of conception. That is his opinion and not a proven fact. If he really is for freedom and liberty he would let everyone decide for themselves when that happens and whether or not having an abortion is something they would want to do or be a part of.
Life probably starts whenever that little thing inside of a woman starts moving around and starts using sustenance from it's host.

But I don't care enough about abortion to sit here and argue about it, there are much more important things to be concerned about in this country right now in my opinion.

Also, freedom and liberty do not equal anarchy. What about murder? We can't just say that a person should be free to decide if they want to kill someone or not. We have to have laws about certain things. So if the baby is technically alive then obviously it's probably not a good thing to destroy it, just like it's not a good thing to destroy another person. The main issue is who should write the law and how should it be implemented?
