Republicans and Trump are the reason for the overturn of Roe v Wade and you are the one lying to yourself if you refuse to understand that
To spell it out for people who can't seem to grasp how the american government works:
The Supreme Court justices are nominated by the president and confirmed by congress. In other words, the president sorts through resumes and picks the one he likes best and then congress does the job interview to decide if the candidate gets the job
When a justice seat opened during Obama's last year as president, the republican majority in congress made the unprecedented move to refuse to confirm Obama's pick, thus blocking a liberal judge from joining SCOTUS. Republicans did that, not then-VP Biden.
When Trump was elected, he got to pick a new judge - Kavanaugh. Biden didn't do that, either. And when RBG passed, Trump got to stack SCOTUS by flipping her left wing seat to far right. Amy Conan Barrett also flat out lied during her confirmation hearing about respecting precedent (aka upholding roe). REPUBLICANS stacked SCOTUS to allow for the overturn of roe, not Biden ffs
And fwiw, when Biden did get a chance to nominate a judge to SCOTUS, he picked Katanji Brown Jackson: a left-leaning, Harvard-educated black woman. SCOTUS is still stacked in favor of republicans, but imagine who would have been put in the court if trump or any other republican was still the president in 2022, how much farther right he would have pulled the court? In that context, placing the overturning of roe on biden is like placing the death toll of the titanic's sinking on the carpathia because it didn't show up sooner. We need to make sure a dem is the president the next time a SCOTUS seat opens up so we can continue to pull the court back to the left. We need to vote for dems in interim elections so they control congress and thus control SCOTUS confirmations. The GOP understands the long game, that's how they overturned roe after 50 years. It's why they try so hard to gerrymander and suppress voting. They want you to blame biden, they want you to abstain from the polls. Don't play into their hand
