If someone votes to "leave it up to the states", they are not then responsible for every thing every state does after that.

1. Republicans knew what states would do, so actually yes, they do bear responsibility for positioning them to do it.

2. Surely we can agree that Republican state lawmakers are responsible for the laws they make? Surely we can agree that voters who voted for Republicans who openly said they are going to ban abortion without exception, are responsible when the lawmakers they voted for do exactly what they voted for them based on? Are you just going to pretend that these people aren't responsible for literally their own actions?
