He's pointing out that people don't agree with him. He's perhaps just learning that parody, particularly the political variety, is a tool to "hammer the point home" through exageration and hyperbole. That's the primary function. If it also happens to be funny - that's what makes it art. True. He’s pointing out that people don’t agree with him.

He may have been ignorant at first, but the Onion article was trying to make a point about abortion that he disagreed with, whether the narrating character in the article was real or not, the author of the article was obviously trying to inform the audience about certain views he/she does have, cloaked in a satirical story. It is funny to think that the anti-abortionist took that article at face value, but with the amount of buffoonery on both sides of the fence I'm not too surprised that he did that. There are pro-choicers out there that feel similarly. It's sad, but true. The anti-abortionist’s rebuttals in the later entries do make a point.
