Yet being in the middle doesn't mean it is any less logical either.

"abortions for some, miniature American flags for others" is a logical position?

     I think he's saying that being in the middle ground does not make a position any less valid just as it does not make it any more valid. I don't think he is commenting on the quote in your post.
