        I was thinking the 72 days they had that fillibuster-proof Senate majority during the Obama presidency.

        Since the Comstock Act would have been obsolete at the time, before Roe v Wade was overturned, it should have been a formality.

        …And they were busy getting ObamaCare passed, for which I am eternally grateful…

        But… Democrats…

          I agree they should have codified it. They had since 1973 to do it.

          In the end, I think the dems miscalculated and never thought the republicans would actually kill their golden goose; abortion was a major sticking point for single-issue voters. Hindsight is 20/20.

        Uh, yeah they would. Republicans and their general… hatred of mankind are already a pretty good motivator. It’s not like there’s any leftists to compete with them either, Americans are scared of those.
