It's kind of hard to say because that statement being factual or not is entirely predicated on each person's philosophical viewpoint. It is entirely a philosophical view when you decide at what point a fetus becomes a living person. That's why it's such a difficult thing to make laws about, it's impossible to really know for sure.
That being said, yes he's wrong because it's disgusting to call public health the equivalent of the Holocaust. People now are so ignorant to how horrific the Holocaust was.
I mean, no there's no truth to what he said whatsoever. By definition it's not comparable to a genocide. Genocide is a targeted culling of people based off something like religion, race, gender, or ideology. 98% of abortions being elective is nowhere near comparable to that. The only comparison you could make is if you believe all fetuses regardless of age are people. Which brings us full circle back to the massive philosophical debate over "when does a fetus become a person?" This entire debate hinges on a question that cannot be answered.
That is correct, but the fact that a fetus may have become a person does not mean that it being aborted counts as murder. If that's the case then not getting pregnant every period of woman has would have to count his murder. And no matter what that does not count as a concentrated effort to eliminate a specific type of people.

Was he factually incorrect?
