They need to win both houses. Obama was the last one to have that and he put his cards into the ACA. You really seem to only get one these days. As far as most people were concerned Roe v. Wade was settled and a long standing precedent that in no sane world could be overturned. I don't think many people imagined we'd be here today. Let's not blame the victims either. The left didn't do this.
Haven't the "left" warned about it since forever? Doesn't Dems gi on elections using roe VS Wade? Seems most could imagine where we are today.
No? It was generally considered a settled issue until recently.
Recently ? Did not obama run on codifying RvsW?
No he ran on healthcare. That's why we have the ACA now.
Must have been some other guy , an evil twin perhaps?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BdrOrwmk78Y
Nah, same guy. It's just not what he "ran on". That doesn't mean it's not an issue at all. Language matters, but if you want to fight over semantics you're on your own.
Yea semantics right.. cool
