Democrats are grappling with what may be the most immediate question of post-Roe politics: Is it even worth having more votes on abortion rights that aren’t going anywhere?

. Democrats aren’t too eager to replicate that stalemate on abortion rights, aware that they can’t pass much with their paltry majorities in Congress — but that doesn’t mean they won’t vote on abortion at all.

“We’ve already voted on the codification bill,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren . “And we don’t have the votes. That’s why I’m so focused on November. If we pick up two more senators, we can ditch the filibuster and makeThe outcome she outlined requires keeping the House in Democratic hands next year, however, and that’s a long shot at best.

A vote on a Kaine-Collins bill, once it’s complete, could demonstrate that a bipartisan majority of senators support protecting abortion rights — Sen. Lisa Murkowski also has said she favors a simplecodification. A 52-vote showing for their measure would present a stark contrast to the Democratic bill that failed in Maydoes not have to be a partisan issue,” Rep. Abigail Spanberger , one of the House’s vulnerable incumbents in this fall’s midterms, said in an interview.

Show votes are wasted time same with show committee trials, but hay is not like they have anything better to do? 🤪😜🤪😜😝

The problem is that they want a constitutional right to abortion. The solution is a constitutional amendment to guarantee a right to abortion. If this is what they care about run on that. If its as popular as you claim, there should be no problem getting the votes needed to do it

MAGAs are Christian Taliban.

Outside of grumbling about SCOTUS, showboating about 1/6, and naming post offices—- what have they accomplished

MSM Translation: we dont have the votes to pass jack.

Being pro-choice is politically stupid. Who in the Democratic camp is Democrat BECAUSE of abortion? There are MILLIONS of Republicans, mostly women, who are Republican BECAUSE of abortion despite agreeing with them on literally no other issue. No democrat can say that.

They have never been further out of touch with the electorate. The mid terms will reflect as much.

Life SENTENCES for Rapists, mandatory child support for mother's denied the right to choose.

We shouldn't rely on political parties to do much if anything. Change must be achieved by WeThePeople.

No they are not, they want it. So they can use it to gain votes.

Why do they hate democracy? Let the states decide for themselves and get over it.

Democrats control both houses of Congress and the White House... And they cant do anything?
