I didn’t watch the forum, so don’t know the context of this remark, but when I read it I took it to mean that the decision about when life begins is God’s.
I don’t think the pay grade remark referred to the Presidency. I think it was intended to mean that it was above his pay grade to play God. So on this particular issue, he won’t take a moral stand. Although he doesn’t seem to mind taking moral stands on just about every other issue pertaining to government intrusion into private lives.

Would a guy like that ever have the nerve to carpet bomb or launch a retaliatory nuclear strike? Would he be tempted to pardon serial killers? And also— what kind of judges would he respect? The man is as flawed as the day is long. And the truth is, he had the nerve to support dumping babies in filthy utility rooms until they die. Oh he has nerve alright. He's phony, twisted, and potentially dangerous if he were smart enough to fool us.
