Actually, I do get it. First, you have no sense of humor. Second, that parody exists because that is pretty much what the Dims sound like at the present.
For one thing, I don't consider abortion funny. It's a desperate choice in the sense that alcohol or drug rehab is.
To someone who is anti-abortion that is precisely how Dims sound. It was done to highlight what they see as the Dim disregard for human life. Come to think of it the whole video was done to show how clueless Dims are in general.
More troubling is the extent to which the Hard Right seems brainwashed. Donald Trump seems more like a cult leader than a polished politician. Trump exemplifies the doctrine "my way or the highway".
Add to that, Republicans seem willing to price people out of healthcare and into the grave, start wars for profit, accelerate global warming to enhance profits of the fossil-fuel industry, and keep the death penalty or even extend it. That is pro-death.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
