The point they were trying to make (I believe, and this specific argument) is that the entire basis of the opposing argument is entirely based on religion and pretty much by definition specious. There is no sky daddy looking over your shoulder, and this any morality you base on its existence is inheritetly flawed at best.

What there is are women who need timely access to medical care or their lives are at risk. This is a tangible and real threat.

So treating the issue as “Politics” only serves to dignify the flawed morality of one side while letting women die.
