There's a difference between saying someone is responsible and the victim is responsible.
The Cargo Cult decries the principle of legitimate responsibility, and consistently attempts to deny the guilt of the true architects of tragedy in numerous ways - victim-blaming being a very popular one.
In this example, a significant number of Americans would rather an adult woman die in childbirth than terminate a dangerous pregnancy.
If adult women - who may well be married and have a family - actually do die because legal abortion is unavailable, those Americans become responsible for avoidable deaths.
But the magic of the Cult's moral inversion means they continue to consider their position a wholly good one.
"Good intentions suffice."
This is not the same as - for example - a climate denialist buying beachfront property in Southern Florida and then being amazed when it floods in a storm and becomes impossible to sell.
"Consequences are things that happen to others."
These look opposed, but the MO is the same in both examples. Legitimate responsibility is denied, and replaced by a simplistic self-affirming moralising certainty which is actively hostile to mature empirical rationality and empathy.
