The Case that fell in front of the Supreme Court (almost 15 years in the making) was the perfect case to revert Roe V Wade back to the States. As you are aware, to date many States allow abortions. So, abortion, is still legal federally, it is not the right of the state to limit its access to women. Which, some states have done. But legally speaking, Abortion is still legal.
So, no, I don't blame Trump for that. Even Ruth Bader Ginsberg said Roe V Wade was the wrong case to use to legalise abortion federally for women, and the court should have heard another case. Roe V Wade was not the right case, since it had a loophole that could overturn it based on the State's rights issue. We were told this in Constitutional Law on Day 1, that, in our careers as lawyers Roe v Wade would be overturned. Trump just pandered to his base and used it for votes, who knows what he actually thinks on the issue?
In all honesty- I blame the male Judges who refused to listen to Ginsberg when she begged them not to pick Roe V Wade as the case to hear for deciding a woman's right to choose.
For your information - Here is a good reference as to why Ginsberg didn't feel Roe was a solid case.
PS- I also blame the Democratic party who knew this was coming for 15 years and did nothing to stop it.
Who, Donald Trump? He didn't do anything-
