Itâs bad when even RBG was saying roe shouldnât have been used as law. The dems have had a ton of times to solidify it into law via the proper channels but wonât because it gets votes.
Have they, though?
It wasnât because it gets votes, but because it loses votes. People will strongly object to one thing a hell of a lot faster than theyâll give you credit for doing anything. Look at Bidenâs entire administration. We handled post-covid inflation* better than any other developed nation, but he didnât get credit for the 90% he fixed. He got shit on for the 10% left to go.
* And Iâd argue a good chunk of that inflation was the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the bipartisan bill Trump signed into law while rejecting the oversight the Dems wanted. That was the biggest corporate giveaway in our nationâs history. Literally just giving public money to private corporations. A step far beyond âprivatize profits, socialize lossesâ.
Dems believed, reasonably, that Roe was settled and wasnât in imminent danger. Holding a vote on that just pushes people away. Of course, in hindsight, they should have done it anyway. But as you can tell from this past election, and all the states that went red while passing womenâs rights legislation, having the issue out there is not getting them votes.
There is probably 1% of dems who are pro-life. The mass majority is pro-choice. This is like saying people who vote repubs are anti-gun. Dems have had a ton of chances to solidify it into law, which is way harder to remove.
