Yes, you are right. Even an average politician wouldn't say something so directly to destroy his polling.... but for some reason the current US admin has gone extreme left on every issue very directly - saying kids don't belong to parents but teachers (actual quote from Biden), 9 month unlimited abortion (direct quote from his press secretary, and she reiterated it also), calling conservatives white supremacists etc.... they have gone ALL IN on every issue.
The result as you would expect is completely dividing not just independents, but the moderates in their own base. Last year's Gubernatorial elections in deeply Liberal heartland states like New Jersey were an indicator, and things have gotten much worse since (even deeper approval drops). Generic Conservative leads by 34 points Generic Liberal in battleground states this year - SO FAR. Senate and Gubernatorial elections this year will be a total Red wash

I'm not able to find the specific video where that image comes from. But I did find a transcript from an interview (https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/315-22/transcript-mayor-eric-adams-conducts-series-interviews) according to which this is what was said:
I agree with you that this is an extreme position and I have not seen anything reflecting that view being actually discussed in law.
I also saw another extreme claim yesterday from a pro-life proponent under oath: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/abortion-hearing-gop-catherine-foster-fetus-b2083367.html

There was a senate or house hearing on a 9 month abortion bill, including when the baby is about to pop out, last week. I will try to find the clip
Biden's position was the same btw, I think also reiterated the week the Supreme court leak happened
