Trump's positions on abortion don't seem particular thought-through, but he did say that he would nominate SCOTUS justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade. I don't think that's a moderate position at all.
And while Trump might be less of an extremist on these issues than his fellow Republicans, the party's elected officials (including his running mate) haven't moved an inch towards the center on abortion rights. Mike Pence governed Indiana, a state with some of the tightest (and most ridiculous, honestly) restrictions on abortion in the country.
