Clinton and Obama could have codify Roe v Wade but refused to do so. The dems are as phony as 3 dollar bills on this'


Darragh Roche wrote a fantastic article for Newsweek in 2022 where she quoted many Democrats and liberals who were angry at President Obama for refusing to codify Roe.

Roche wrote, “For a brief period during the 111th Congress, Democrats had a filibuster-proof 60 seat majority in the Senate when independents who caucus with the Democrats are taken into account but the Freedom of Choice Act never became law.”

If liberals are so committed to abortion rights, why didn’t the Democrats pass the Freedom of Choice Act when they had the chance?

Democrats use abortion as an emotional trigger, not a policy issue. If they tried to codify it, they would have to specify the conditions under which it would be legal.

That is exactly why it should be left to the states.
