    So better than Trump? Wouldn’t have overturned Roe? Sounds like a better choice then. Or do you think abortion rights aren’t incredibly important?

    Also, when did Obama have the majority of pro-choice votes in congress to codify it? In the six months when they had a majority? Joe Donnelly was in the senate, which was in a razor thing margin, and he was pro-life. As were a couple of other Democrats at the time. The idea that he could have codified Roe is nonsense.

        Except for all the state level protections that are now going into effect, even in deep red states.

        Are you suggesting that they shouldn’t campaign on saving abortion rights, or that they won’t save abortion rights when elected? Because those are braindead takes. The Rs will absolutely remove abortions at a federal level, so, by default, voting D saves what little abortion rights there are, even if they did nothing, which they fucking won’t.

        Yes, they have done nothing to prevent SCOTUS justices that Trump put in place to end Roe. Because they weren’t president at the time. Also, there was never a time when Democrats had the votes to codify Roe. If you can point to a time when Democrats had a pro-choice majority (you cannot count majorities when there were pro-life Democrats making it up), I would like to know when it was.

        It’s like you can’t see how A leads to B.
