Leaked Supreme Court Decision signals majority set to overturn Roe v. Wade

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Codifying Roe v. Wade would have guaranteed a Republican majority in the next cycle to revoke it. Striking Roe v. Wade down may give Democrats a majority in the midterms and they'll have a mandate to codify it then as well as a chance to hold on to power long enough to make it stick.

It would not have guaranteed Republican majority. How do you figure that? Nearly 70 percent of Americans believe in Roe, and the vast majority of Democrats. Democrats have used abortion as a rallying cry for folks to vote for nearly 50 years! How is letting abortion rights be gutted before the midterms in Democrats' favor? If anything it will be the opposite.

You said it yourself - a whopping great majority of American voters favour access to abortion. There are enough independent voters furious enough over this to vote not-Republican in the fall and shift things towards Democrats (not a guarantee, of course, but a likely scenario). It is certainly going to motivate Democrats to get out and vote.

Codifying Roe v Wade would have nothing at all to keep it from being overturned.
