Because I'm tired of hearing that damn liberal viewpoint every single time

For starters, on the overturning of Roe v. Wade, could you give any evidence that it was preventable but the Democrats did nothing, if not welcomed it?

Such as the majority-democrat political demographic of the Senate that oversaw that decision?

Re: Roe v. Wade, Dems could have

  1. Codified national abortion rights any time they have had the legislative and executive, which has happened several times, including a 60:40 majority Senate under Obama and the slim majorities under Biden.
  2. Actually fought for their SC picks, including lame duck Obama giving up a seat to McConnell and Dems not making RBG retire despite being sick and frail.

They could also, right now, pack the court if they wanted to. There's plenty of precedent. They'd rather save it for campaigning on, it's a nice wedge issue that uses people's suffering.
