An attempt by (mostly) men who helped put these ignorant Federalist Society knobs to absolve themselves from their own responsibility for having caused millions of women to lose a big part of their health care.

It’s like a prosecutor blaming the jury for a wrongful conviction based on the prosecutor’s misconduct. “I didn’t convict that person - the jury did. All I did was present my case.”

“I didn’t ban abortion. Your state’s legislature did that. All I did was vote for the senators and presidents who stacked the Supreme Court with the foolish, dishonest ideologues who allowed your state legislature to do so. See? Not my fault.”
