Here's one of the problems faced by the Congress on this issue, in particular, Schumer's call for a vote this week:That's your opinion whereas before you stated that it wasn't possible at all.
As for codifying it, the wording could be created to not address abortion the same way that this case was deciding.
As long as a fetus is contained within a woman, the woman should always take priority. Any legislation that decides differently should be opposed.
(Also my opinion)
Btw - if enough constituents lobby well enough, compromise is more likely. That's kinda how it works....left or right (even the far left)
Democrats lack votes to end filibuster for abortion protections
- Alayna Treene, author of Axios Sneak Peek
Why it matters: Democrats have very few legislative options to try to stop the Supreme Court from carrying out a decision that would end the nationwide right to an abortion. While Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) vowed to hold a vote on codifying Roe v. Wade, the measure — which as of now does not yet even have 50 votes — would fail to meet the filibuster’s 60-vote threshold.
What they’re saying: Manchin told reporters: “The filibuster is a protection of democracy.”
- Manchin voted against similar legislation trying to codify abortion rights earlier this year.
