"Trump: ‘some form of punishment’ if abortion were illegal "
OK, an accurate quote of what he said. The strong reaction was of course because even right to life proponents rule out punishment of the woman. What you miss is that everyone informed on the issue
knows that you're not going to punish the woman, law or not. There are plenty of laws that are not enforced, or are lightly enforced.
Right to Life is undone by their own argument to repeal Roe V Wade, because they can't face the 'enforcement question' honestly.

“Mr. Trump’s comment today is completely out of touch with the pro-life movement and even more with women who have chosen such a sad thing as abortion,” said Jeanne Mancini, President of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund. “Being pro-life means wanting what is best for the mother and the baby. Women who choose abortion often do so in desperation and then deeply regret such a decision. No pro-lifer would ever want to punish a woman who has chosen abortion. This is against the very nature of what we are about. We invite a woman who has gone down this route to consider paths to healing, not punishment.”
