It’s not enough that they have the power to unilaterally strip away the rights of millions of people based on far right bullshit ideology, they want us to LIKE it.

What's actually going on is a chess game.

The Democrats could have, and should have, pushed national legislation to keep abortion legal years ago... instead they relied on a controversial case law and seem ...are they lazy????

The Supreme Court's job is not to enact legislation—that's the actual job of Congress.

So, why would the Democrats be asleep at the wheel on such an important topic?

Well, Democrats are good at fear mongering their base, (just as the Republicans are good at your mongering the right). Democrats have used abortion as a hot button issue for decades as a way to get you to vote for the candidates that they shove on the ballot.

For that reason, they had no motivation to make it into law, they wanted it to be "ever in jeopardy". It kind of backfired and now people are going to be hurt.

Abortion, and guns, are the hot button issues that get the rallying cries. They are tools of manipulation.

So..., pass the popcorn.... The show's getting interesting...

@AngryAndrew No, this gives the Dems far too much credit. It wasn't some masterful strategy to keep their base scared; they were too busy being scared themselves of proposing bold divisive legislation that might peel off votes they didn't actually have anyway from the center, and of failing to pass it. Because they kept trying "bipartisanship," a horrible strategy where the Republicans danced backwards and the Dems were expected to follow for some reason.
