His position is debatable, but most of his supporters are in favor of the pro-choice-by-state policy. They seem to think it worked out so well the last time America decided to let each state decide which persons were legally considered persons.

I did find this:

Day-after pill allows individual moral choice

The abortion problem is more of a social and moral issue than it is a legal one. If we are ever to have fewer abortions, society must change. The law will not accomplish that. However, that does not mean that the states shouldn't be allowed to deal with abortion. Very early pregnancies and victims of rape can be treated with the day after pill, which is nothing more than using birth control pills in a special manner. Such circumstances would be dealt with by each individual making his or her moral choice.

And this:

Get the federal government out of abortion decision

Q: If abortion becomes illegal and a woman obtains an abortion anyway, what should she be charged with? What about the doctor who performs the abortion?

RP A: The first thing we have to do is get the federal government out of it.

We don’t need a federal abortion police. That’s the last thing that we need. There has to be a criminal penalty for the person that’s committing that crime. And I think that is the abortionist. As for the punishment, I don’t think that should be up to the president to decide.

Considering what we have now, that's definitely a step in the right direction. Some states will put a stop to it.
