Trump wants nothing to do with the issue of abortion. He was forced to take some kind of position, and because he was running as a Republican, took on a half-assed "pro-life" position, and moved on. The hubbub when he said that violators of abortion laws would face some kind of punishment was way overblown. For once, Trump was caught flat footed, needed to answer that direct question, and fumbled out a vague answer.
Of course, if there was any way interpret his words as "an attack on women", the media was ready to roll with it.
He isn't going to pursue it strongly, only throw the religious right a few small bones (lol) for their support.
