The Senate is split 50/50 with two Dems blocking significant portions of the platform. Saying they have control is misrepresenting the current situation.

And yet, the Senate just passed firearm legislation with support of some Republicans. But you're right, why try?

It took the murder of almost a dozen children to get Republican Senators to the negotiating table on that bill, and what they passed was a pittance.

The Democrats don't have a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.

Any such legislation could be immediately undone if Republicans take things back.

SCOTUS could strike it down, too.

The federal government cannot pass a law that restricts the state and local governments from passing anti-abortion legislation. The only remedy is a constitutional amendment, and there have never been the votes for that.

I think they would have to kill the filibuster to do that.
