In response, states across the country have enacted pro-life laws that recognize the dignity of human life in the womb while also guarding the health and safety of women.

And as soon as the voters go to the polls, these laws are repealed. Years back, the voters of South Dakota and Mississippi repealed state pro-life laws. If you can't restrict or end abortion in Mississippi, then where can you?

...most women who’ve had abortions wish they’d had more help to keep their babies, and many of them suffer in silence...

This was proven wrong back in the 1980s. When C. Everett Koop was Reagan's Surgeon General, he authorized a study into women's reactions after an abortion. He was sure the study would prove the veracity of the above sentence. It turned out quite differently.

The study showed that most women who had abortions viewed it as a positive experience. It was a declaration of independence from an overbearing father, husband or boyfriend, a blow against patriarchy.

The results of the study were a shock to Dr. Koop and shook him to his roots. Koop was a devout Christian, and he wondered if he should suppress the study. But he chose to make it public.

Trump is playing this cleverly. Abortion is popular, and in every state where the issue is on the ballot, people will vote to keep it legal. Trump is giving voters an option to vote for abortion without giving them a reason to vote Democrat. It's a good chess move.

Agree!

And, thank you for your much more succinct, and, thorough reply, than mine (above :).
