He seems to be trying to straddle the fence men should not even consider climbing.
It's one thing for a woman to register personal reservations about whether or not she would ever have an abortion.
Quite another for a man to have "personal" reservations about what his wife or daughter or some stranger might do with their own pregnant body.

No man can simultaneously be against abortion personally and respect the reproductive choices of all women.

The partial birth abortion ban targeting later term abortion procedures was a giant step towards the 8 week limits that were just passed. He was there to help that along in 1995 and again in 2003.
