Let’s try to get our heads around this. Trump’s justification and rational for supporting the overturning of Roe v Wade was that the issue should be returned to the states where the people of those states will address the issue based on the will of the people . Right?
So, now we have states where abortion is legal, but where anti abortion terrorists are running amok and doing all that they can to intimidate and shut down abortion provider and cower the patients .
And what is the Trump administrations response? Lets have a look :

First he pardons those guilty of violent acts that they committed and they his DOJ drops ongoing investigations concerning threats against clinics . This is not “letting the states decide” The people of those states decided, through their representative that abortion will be legal. But the Trump administration is undermining the will of the people by allowing these fanatics to flout the law ,
While they may face state charges , the penalties are much lighter:
So much for the will of the people . These terrorist do not represent the majority of the people who want abortion to be legal

Many of the nearly two dozen people President Donald Trump pardoned in January, who had broken into and blocked access to abortion clinics, are vowing to launch a new wave of civil disobedience.
At a recent online event by the anti-abortion group LiveAction, several of the activists released from federal prison said they will resume efforts in the coming months to shut down remaining clinics in America, and they urged fellow abortion opponents to join them.
On the heels of the pardons, Trump’s FBI and DOJ dropped several ongoing investigations into threats against abortion clinics and issued a new memo signaling reduced enforcement going forward against such acts.

While they may face state charges , the penalties are much lighter:
Some of the pardoned individuals are still facing state charges for entering abortion clinics without permission. If convicted, they stand to receive a lighter sentence than the federal charges carried — 30 days compared with several years in prison.
Clinics in New York City and Washington where some of the pardoned individuals were arrested over the last few years told POLITICO they, like Halle, have seen an uptick in incidents this year. Two days after the pardons were announced, for instance, volunteers at Washington’s Planned Parenthood clinic told POLITICO that “a particularly aggressive” anti-abortion protester “twice walked close to the door” in a manner staff and patients found intimidating.
So much for the will of the people . These terrorist do not represent the majority of the people who want abortion to be legal
