About as much as he does regarding immigration law apparently.The differnce is that the President's JOB is to cause the laws of the US to be faithfully executed.
Illegal immigration is against the law. Permitting illegals to reside here without interference is maladministration, at the very least, and could be impeachable under certain circumstances.
The President has no laws to enforce in the matter of abortion. They two situations are not comparable.

The President swore to uphold and defend the "Constitution", not SCOTUS interpretation of it.
I don't have time for, nor am inclined toward a protracted debate on constitutional interpretation, fed and states' rights, the fourteenth amendment, precedent, et cetera,. I just don't give any credence to the SCOTUS decision in Roe vs Wade, lacking precedent as it did in Texas vs Lawrence or Kelo v. City of New London.
The kind of thinking in RvW is what has led to courts ordering state legislatures to pass laws that support their rulings.
There is no longer "co-equal" branches of government when the Judicial branch exercises a power it does not have, over another branch.
