The democrats couldn’t have done it without Sinema and Manchin to get rid of filibuster, and they wouldn’t do it. Give democrats an actual majority and they’ll do it.
From https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61311966
[In 2021], the House of Representatives, controlled by the Democratic Party, voted to approve legislation that would secure - and, in some cases expand - the right to abortion afforded by the Roe decision. The vote was 218 in favour and 211 against.
The bill then moved to the evenly-divided Senate, where one Democrat - Joe Manchin of West Virginia - joined the Republicans in voting it down. Because of Senate rules that several Democrats (including Mr Manchin) are adamantly against altering, passage would have required 60 votes out of the 100 senators - a mark the abortion bill did not approach.
So the democrats chose one of themselves to play as the bad guy to take all the blame. Got it.
Democrats always do that

Candi and Amber are not married, BTW.
Their juxtaposition makes it seem like they were lovers, and both died somehow from this law. I was very confused until I realized they’re two separate cases
