Democrats are never going to codify Roe because it’s just too lucrative an issue. It’s the same reason why Republicans will make sure we always have a so-called border crisis.
It’s pointless because it’s their golden goose. It’s only a states-rights issue because it was never legislated at the federal level, even when the Dems had a supermajority.
I’m not following. The process to amend the constitution is far more complicated than passing a federal law. SCOTUS effectively blocked any federal law in their ruling that said it is a states’ rights issue. A federal law would not have changed that

You’re right, Jeff.
It’s just too hard to do. We shouldn’t expect better. How silly of me to think Democrats might do what they promise one day.
Trump’s one talent is to make morons feel good about their hatred and bigotry and talk to them in a way that makes then feel like they understand what he’s saying.
He’s not wrong. He’s probably saying it for the wrong reasons, but the statement itself is not untrue.
Democrats can’t actually solve any of the issues they campaign on since the more things they actually solve, the fewer issues they have to make their right-wing, milque toast corporate candidates appear distinct from the GOP.
Doing things like legislating abortion, reforming healthcare, protecting minority rights, fixing our broken immigration system etc. would mean they then have to start looking into the real fundemental issues like campaign finance reform and repealing Citizens United and stuff.
I would argue that Trump should have said ‘the democratic party’ instead of democrats, but I don’t really see how he’s all that wrong.
The opportunity to actually do something about it has come and gone many times, but it’s been held unsettled as a wedge issue for political reasons.
Overturning Roe has been a huge boon to the Democratic Party. They beat that drum so hard and have managed to parlay the issue into fundraising and election wins. There’s no way they’re going to protect abortion at a federal level. It’s too much of a useful motivator for those whose life it could destroy.
His cultists are the same. None of them care what the truth is in the slightest. I’ve seen redcaps on Lemmy say the Dems are responsible for Dobbs because Biden was in office for it.
what’s weird is this is exactly what he did for four years of 24/7 media coverage and the author of this article is still phrasing it like “can you believe this?”
Yeah. Yeah, we can. Why can’t you. Or, more to-the-point; why don’t you, article writers?
My plan is to make Amish funeral pie with extra orange zest to celebrate the day the human shitstain finally croaks on his gold toilet. I invite others to as well.
(Don’t let the raisins scare you, It’s actually a really tasty pie)
I think it would be funny to make a sequal to the 1997 movie Liar Liar. Instead of being forced to tell the truth, I’m imagining some disney villain poisoning a citys water supply. And now they all have to sing everything. Every moment is a musical.
Mostly because you haven’t heard me sing. I was once offered an album deal, but then the CIA realized it was just cheaper to babysit some crying babies.
