Sounds like he said he would respect the law.   The law says abortion is legal. The reason that won't change is because the vast majority of Americans want it to remain legal. Barely more than 1 in 10  Americans say it should be illegal in all cases. All I heard the man say is that he would respect the law. The law in this case reflects the will of the vast majority of the people in the country.  When we don't respect the law(legal and fair elections, for instance), the result is an insurrection and attempted coup. Sounds like this man respects the law. Respecting the law is important.

In the Gallup poll, when respondents were first asked about the legality of abortion, 49% described themselves as "pro-life" and 46% as "pro-choice." However, among people who were not asked about legality first, 43% described themselves as "pro-life" and 52% as "pro-choice." Gallup's 2019 polling also found that 50% of Americans believe abortion to be morally wrong, while 42% believe it to be morally acceptable, and 6% believe that it depends on the situation.
