That certainly makes a lot more sense than the "leaked as a distraction against.... unspecified" theory.

I left it unspecified as I thought it was obvious it was to distract from allowing states to make it a crime to terminate a pregnancy in all cases.

That doesn't make any sense, both are about abortion. Getting people to talk and think about one will naturally draw attention to the other.

If Alito was indeed the leaker, that is an outcome he would cheer for, not one he would try to prevent.
