Also, if you are a biological male you have no right to any opinion about abortion whatsoever, much less the ability to make it illegal.
If you had said biological males had no right to make abortion decisions, I'd be with you... but saying I can't even have an opinion on the topic because the way I was born is somewhere between laughably moronic and maliciously sexist. I'm not even saying I should have a say in the decision my partner has if she happens to get pregnant, but I can and will have an opinion. You might consider it an uninformed opinion since I don't have a life of experience as a woman, but it's still an opinion. Hell, just being a living human being means having the right to think for yourself, which is the essence of having an opinion. You are saying I don't have the right to think for myself because I was born a male.
I would disagree with this statement and call it out for being sexist, to the point of being antagonistic and hateful towards men.
Anyone can have an opinion about anything they like.
I can believe in the great spaghetti monster and wear a noodle strainer on my head at the dmv, and raises my fists in glory chanting, pastafari!
There is a difference between believing in something and using that belief to dictate what decisions other people can and can not make between them and their doctor.
