      I mean if they’d been voted in there wouldn’t be a republican majority supreme court and roe wouldn’t have been overturned in the first place.

      To make a better world, dipshit

      Ever see a Democratic stronghold state? Guess what they all have codified into law?

      All this “democrats wouldn’t give it to us even if they could” is particularly stupid because it is demonstrably false. Plenty of Democrat led states already have abortion rights.
