FFS this reads like russian disinfo. Yes. They do want that. And yes, they’ll get it done now that the SCOTUS has well and truly fucked us all such that states are criminalizing women’s health.
Could they have done it before??? Sure. What would you like to give up for it. Environment? Education? Health? Spending? Name the issue you will kill for it.
“DuMmYCrAtS wOnT LeGaLizE AbOrTiOn BeCAuSe ThEy MakE MoNey On iT” is a cheap and low-effort right-wing talking point. The “left” loves it for what should be obvious reasons.

Seeing as the Dems have already given up basically all of these issues, I fail to see what would be changed if they had demanded to codify Roe. And even without Congress, there are other paths to the same goal - withold highway funding, put clinics on federal land, pack the Court - but the simple fact is that Biden himself is anti-abortion, which is why he bristles at his administration doing anything to provide access to care to women in red states.
Then what do you suppose is the reason why Biden is so reluctant on the issue? And don’t say “because the republicans control congress”, because as I’ve outlined it is very much within Biden’s mandate to act on this issue unilaterally if that’s what he or his party want.
Why is he reluctant? Because he’s a life-long practicing Catholic.
He did just say they’d codify Roe in the first 100 days, so. I mean, he has personal reservations due to faith but I don’t think you can say he’s reluctant in a legislative sense.

You are Charlie Brown, and you are running at a football. The girl holding it, Lucy, has just promised you that she’s going to let you kick it this time.
edit: to be clear, the girl is the Democratic Party, not Biden personally.
You don’t think something about Roe is different this election cycle? Nothing at all? No critical change or nothin?
Or you still think federal legislation is easy and exists in a vacuum of spacetime, and Democrats are twirling their moustaches and muttering Muwahahahaa while they collect all those bleeding heart votes to . . . what, destroy freedom or something?
I think that’s a pointedly crooked way of looking at it. If you actually believe that, ok, I disagree.

I mean - No. That’s just wrong.

Not that it’s relevant anymore.
