The claim about Williams as abortion survivor seems to be saying: if Williamson's mom had aborted him, he (who wouldn't exist) would be fully justified in thinking she should hang. It's only self-defense!

Do you remember the joke from the movie the Bird Cage, that the mother should go down with the ship, as it were...

I keep thinking about that too. “Why stop at killing abortion doctors? Just kill the mother as well!” Of course, that was supposed to be satire.pic.twitter.com/TXRZ4TaAej

What? He is a political/cultural commentator. He gets paid for his comments on politics and culture. Literally nothing is more important in his job than what he says about politics and culture. Helping every old lady in N.Y. cross the street doesn't change that.
