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

The Republicans are to blame. The Democrats are to blame too.

Obama campaigned on codifying the right to choose into law. During his first two years he had majorities in both houses of Congress. He did nothing at all to try to keep his campaign promise. He said it was "not a high priority." 

Hillary Clinton chose a pro-life running mate, and made it clear that she thought abortion rights were not something she would spend political capital on. She and Pelosi thought that a focus on such rights would drive away the more right-wing wavering Republicans they want to lure into voting Democrat. For years, the strategy has been to appeal more to the center-Right voters, and just assume that anyone vaguely Left-wing will vote Dem because there's no other choice. 

Republicans are to blame for their activity. Democrats are to blame for a near total lack of meaningful activity. 

Currently Dems have the White House, the House, and 50% of the Senate (where Harris would be the tie-breaker). Is there a push to rush to codify Roe into law while the possibility exists? No, Biden, true to form, spent the day at a munitions factory, doing infomercials for missiles. He is pro-war, pro-corporate profit, and indifferent to what the Dem base (likely soon to be the ex-base) wants. 

The Dems will certainly continue to use abortion rights in their campaign ads, saying that if you don't vote for them the Reps will take away your rights. All the while, they do nothing to secure those rights.
