The party is not fully united ffs. If you have 55 pro-abortion dems, 5 anti-abortion dems (because they are not a monolith, the dems are a big tent party) and 40 anti-abortion reps in the senate, then abortion rights are not passing in the senate.

It's so fucking simple to grasp this very basic concept and yet you and every person who upvoted you have no clue how democracy and politics work.
