Riiiiight. They'll never overturn Roe, that's got judicial standing. It's downright hysterical to suggest such a thing could happen. It's not like we could live in an America with a 3rd of American women under an abortion ban right, and a national ban looming? RIGHT? And it would be unthinkable to intentionally and irrevocably separate families right? Not for any procedural necessity, but just to brutally traumatize anyone who tries to make a crossing. That'd be a pretty fucked up inhuman policy RIGHT?

The dnc knew it did not have judicial standing, that's why they had promised for decades to codify Roe into law. Democrats have this bizarre worldview that everything Republicans do is inhuman, but when their own party adopt those same policies they're busy at brunch. Or even better yet, when it's Democrats that build the systems that Republicans take advantage of you turn a blind eye and only point fingers at Republicans, the way that they screamed about kids in cages under Trump while ignoring who built the motherfucking cages and is still locking kids up in cages. while adopting more draconian immigration laws than Republicans have in decades.

Yeah. None of what you said it true tho? For the border I'd recommend this book Everyone who is gone is here by Jonathan Blitzer. And they can't codify without the votes? Remember Obamacare? To agree with you I'd have to only become political aware a couple years ago and never read more than headlines. Pick up a book, watch some cspan, try again.

It's 100% true. And when Democrat voters were told that they did not have the votes, where were their calls to have those voting pro life primaried? Their typical answer has always been 'We've tried nothing and are all out of ideas"

Books. Cspan. Try again. I can't spoon feed you 30 years worth of politics in a lemmy post. Nothing you posted was in the parking lot of the stadium of truth.
