> Democrats have had multiple chances to codify it and didn't even try. They could also get some buy-in from on-the-fence people and maybe even a few very centrist Republicans in bluish states with a compromise that codifies protection for abortions in the first trimester but nope.

When were these chances? I don't think there have ever been 60 pro-abortion votes in the Senate.
