With regard to abortion. I accept my church’s opinion - position - on abortion. Life begins at conception, that is the church’s decision. I accept it in my personal life. But I refuse to impose it on equally devout Christians and Muslims and Jews. I just refuse to impose that on others, unlike my friend here, the congressman. I do not believe that we have a right to tell other people, women, that they can’t control their body.

Uh, no. All he really said was that he won’t tell non-Catholic women what to do. But he does agree with the Catholic church in telling Catholic women that they cannot have an abortion.
