If the democratic leadership does not end the filibuster to encode abortion rights, republicans will end the filibuster to ban abortion nationally.

Except there are 2 Dinos and 50 #Republifascists who will not allow that to happen ... however, if the GOP takes back the Senate after the Nov election, you can safely bet your last dollar that McConnell will eliminate it on Day One of the next term.

The current bill Democrats have is more extreme than any other developed country, legalizing all abortions until birth with public funding. We need a compromise to have bills similar to the rest of the world. Limits after the first trimester.

You want them to kill their #1 fundraising issue? How else are they supposed to keep the cash flow coming in, huh?

Yet they won't. But they'll certainly send out a bunch of emails asking for money and votes.

They're a Big Tent party, which means no they can't. They don't have the votes. They let too many right-wingers into the party to codify anything.

This is bigger than just Roe, this is about the 14th amendment.

That would require them to do other good things, things that would cost them money.
