Continuing the Wikipedia quote for context

Pyle released a statement shortly afterwards which did not mention abortion, but said that he and his wife "have private beliefs as they pertain to our Christian faith. We believe separation of church and state is crucial to our nation flourishing." He also stated they voted for the Democratic Party, and were "troubled by what the Republican Party has become and [did] not want to be associated with it."[25][26][27]

I'm sure all the women rendered dead or permanently infertile by the abortion bans passed since then can appreciate the nuance of Pyle's belief in the separation of church and state. /s

Honestly, I think it's 100% reasonable, and is basically the same thing Biden says. He says they're Catholic and personally do not believe in abortion, but that he also believes his religious beliefs shouldn't be shoved on Americans and shouldn't be the basis for legislation. I don't have an issue with anyone who feels abortion is wrong, I just take issue if they force that belief on everyone else.

It's not reasonable for him to say "my beliefs are private" and also support an anti abortion rally in public.
