that's correct and there are at least two senators who don't want to. there is currently a bill sitting in the senate, dead, because two democratic senators will not vote for it.https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-vote-abortion-rights-amid-challenges-roe-v-wade-n1280003 …

And you think that reflects well on the Democratic party?

Any way you slice it, electing more Dems is the solution to the problem.

Question: Did all 60 of those Democrats that Obama “had” support codifying Roe into law?

You don't really even need 60 if you are willing to over-ride the filibuster (for which you only need 50). Is it your position that the Dems never had 50 votes to entrench Roe into law?

Replying to @HeerJeet @xbhaskarx and
no it's that they never had fifty votes to override the filibuster, which, again, you know. you were there.

The fact they weren't willing to do it isn't the same as the fact that they didn't have the power to do it. They've often had the power, just didn't want to exercise it. Because it's a feckless party.

Was Bernie the head of the Democratic party? Is he even a Democrat?
