A super-lib explains how the dems couldn't codify Roe for FIFTY fucking years.

How is the criticism wrong then? Democrats have been in charge multiple times over the past 50 years. They didn’t codify Roe because they didn’t want to. They just took 1 tweet and stretched it into 3?

So they had at least three opportunities to do exactly the thing they’re being criticized for not doing, you say? They’re a bunch of absolute fucking morons and ghouls who never cared about abortion rights or anything but their own status and prestige? Good to know!

If you had control over all 3 houses or whatever, what prevents you from slamming through every legislation you want other than your own cowardice?

What if our laws became too codified?

“We only had a decade, and most of us didn’t give a shit for most of that time. All this criticism is very unfair and uncivil.”

You can’t blame the Dems for not doing this because you see sweaty it’s because they didn’t want to

Ok. So 50 years ago people were more conservative. What’s their excuse for not doing anything in recent years when they controlled the government, again?

I think yves smith of naked capitalism once said something along the lines of “democrats want to fight, not to win, because it’ll keep the donations coming in”

Joe Biden once voted for a constitutional amendment to overturn Roe v Wade btw.

Ds have only controlled the govt for 6 yrs

Then why didn’t they do something in those 6 years?

abortion rights and others were hesitant and squeamish in their support.

Oh, because dems don’t care about our rights. You could have just admitted that first, and saved everyone the time.
