As Marc Caputo explains, Trump is between a rock and hard place when it comes to abortion. He loves to brag that he ended Roe v. Wade and created the Supreme Court that accomplished this. But abortion is an electoral albatross for Republicans, so "pro-life" leaders want him to be silent re: it:
"That activists are hoping for silence from Trump (as opposed to alliance) underscores just how far the politics of abortion have shifted."

And here is the Lincoln Project making sure Trumps success in ending Roe v. Wade isn't forgotten:

@joosteto Thanks! Good for them. He can't pretend to have it both ways.

@wdlindsy Didn't Trump just say he's very pro women's rights or some more for women's rights than anyone in history or something like that causing MAGA heads to explode?

Kristin Du Mez comments on the sudden surprising nuance of pro-life leaders as Trump waffles on abortion:
"Such nuance, if you will, is disorienting for those familiar with the movement. For years, any Christian who didn’t align 100% with the political strategy of the pro-life movement, which amounted to only ever voting Republican, has come under harsh judgment. Seeing such grace extended to Trump’s about-face is jarring."

@dee_le_brun Yes, just as he's the smartest man in the world and aced every mental acuity test around, he is, he has just assured us, totally good for women and totally pro-women and he got Roe v. Wade knocked down but had nothing to do with knocking Roe v. Wade down. And on and on it goes with that man….
