“Is the destruction of an embryo less horrific than the murder of an adult?” Yes, to me it is.
I don’t expect to reconcile our moral assumptions here. But Steele was speaking before a Jewish group, where the horror of the Holocaust is viscerally felt and the primacy of life after birth, far from being a “current fad,” is part of an ancient tradition (Jewish law requires abortion if necessary to save the life of the mother). He was right to apologize.
