Friend fallout

So in the wake of the whole roe vs wade issue, i've just found out my best friend of 6 years is firmly anti-abortion. This is someone i'm really close to, and trusted with so much of my life and history, and he casually mentioned he's '100% against it, it's ONLY okay if a kid is r**ped, other than that it's completely wrong,you have to deal with the consequences and it's not the kid's fault you f**ked up.' I gently tried to point out there's a lot of reasons why people might choose this option and it's never something taken lightly (i experienced one myself several years ago and have never told anybody, including him, thankfully) but his response was 'no excuse, if it's growing inside you you're gonna have to accept that and deal with it and commit to bringing it up.' To be honest i'm shocked at his response and although i politely disagreed at the time, now i literally can't bring myself to speak to him. He knows something's up, and i'm really not sure how to approach this topic with him, (having had one myself and knowing now he'd obviously judge me for it),or if i even want to??
