They weren't lawyers or sociologists or anything. Of course they're much better at figuring out what is wrong than how society should react to wrong things. They want fewer abortions to happen, and it's completely legitimate that they'd hand over the problem to whoever can optimise for that (the state is a possibility, but so are doctors and pregnant people). They're only working on setting it as a goal.
I would give a response similar to those of most of the people in the video if an important question had never occurred to me. If it had occurred to me and I was open to whatever answer was optimal, I would have "I don't know" available. Possibly the guy at 2:20 is in the latter category, but its not clear.
Because of the reaction to evidence showing things such as that sex education would reduce abortions, I'm disinclined to think that the anti-abortion movement's actions resemble a coordinated effort to reach a least bad end and am more inclined to think of it as a collection of local responses against anything they see as at all bad.
