The title is a big fat lie. He said that “MANY PEOPLE” feel that.
“many people within the pro-life movement feel that that was too harsh.”
That is an ignorant an untruthful statement. It's also a weasel-phrase. "Many people believe X" often means "I believe X, but I'm not willing to take responsibility for my belief so I'll hide behind nameless, faceless, imaginary 'many people'".
The real problem here is that Donald Trump and his sycophants are unwilling to credit anybody else with doing good things.
