I suspect both. My understanding of the textual argument against Roe v. Wade, as it would be made by a pro-lifer, is that the decision was based on reading words into the fourteenth amendment that aren't there. Meanwhile, the tenth amendment states that any authority not explicitly assigned by the constitution to the federal government rests with the states (exactly the opposite of how it works in Canada). Following that logic, abortion would be a matter for individual states to legislate on. The ramifications of such a decision are obvious... so I imagine that's what they'd expect from the guy. I guess we'll see.
