Ouch. Hit with your own projection. Roe vs wade was passed in 1973. By a Republican majority supreme court. Immediately after it’s passage and for more than the next decade Republicans Or democrats either one could have easily passed it into law. But they didn’t. Only in the 1980s with the Resurgence of fascism frightening democrats for all the wrong reasons. Did the Trope of the timid stand for nothing Democrat and the dumber than dirt anti-abortion Republican Trope come into existence.
By the 1990s it would have started becoming slightly hard to have passed it into law but was still doable. But they didn’t do it. The fashionably fascist Republicans did not have an interest in it since it would not expand their power. And the timid stand for nothing Democrats dare not. Because they saw how handily they were beaten by the fascist in 1980. But that still 20 plus years that it could have been passed to wide legislative and public support.
It was never about the votes, it was them not wanting to give up their fundraising cash cow by selling fear that republicans would take it away. Since they never acted when they had the chance, it was taken away.
Cool - you answered the question, gold star. Here’s one more - in those 7 years, was there ever a call from the public to put RvW into law? I’ll even settle for ONE call-to-action news article from that time period.
One nobody who wrote the sentence “they should make RvW into the law” while the dems had a supermajority and I’ll say you have a point
I mean it would have been redundant up until the court decided that settled law didn’t actually matter. When they had a supermajority row vs wade was a constitutionally protected right, there was no reason to spend the political capital on “settled law”.
Then why did Dems promise year after year to codify it into law if it was settled? And why did numerous Dem legislators draft bills codifying it into law that got referred to committee where it was sent to die if it was settled?
Then why did Dems promise year after year to codify it into law if it was settled?
More than likely fund raising? Or it could be that pretty much every American politician is a professional liar who’s only real job is to lubricate the human crushing machine that is capitalism…
You realize that article describes how Obama re-iterated his pro-choice stance when asked if he would sign FOCA, right? What did you expect him to do? Magically declare RvW into law using his Executive branch wand?
If you’re hung up on the URL, I can think of one little thing congress might’ve been distracted by with their 72 days of supermajority.
When did they have the votes to enshrine Roe? And please be specific about dates and do a little research first.

Nice job not answering the question
Since RvW they had about 7 combined years to pass it when they had a supermajority.
The Democrats had a fillibuster proof majority for a whopping 72 days and they passed the ACA and Patient Protection Plan.
And during that same period they found the time to pass 161, mostly pointless, other laws. But nothing for the law Obama promised to sign day one.

Idk, pick your poison.
Find raising was the sole reason they did nothing, they sold women out to raise money
There were multiple calls from legislators with big promises to codify it.
So… nothing again. Not one source

Narrator: they never had the fucking chance.
