Top Democrat lawmakers called for Congress to enact pro-abortion legislation as well as pack the Supreme Court after a Monday evening leak reportedly revealed that the Court will likely overturn Roe v. Wade.
Following a report from Politico that a majority of justices had reportedly voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, Democrats called for court packing and for the codification of abortion rights into federal law, including by abolishing the Senate filibuster if necessary. If the justices go through with overturning Roe v. Wade, states will be allowed to determine their own abortion limits.
A stolen, illegitimate, and far-right Supreme Court majority appears set to destroy the right to abortion, an essential right which protects the health, safety, and freedom of millions of Americans. There is no other recourse. We must expand the court.

“A stolen, illegitimate, and far-right Supreme Court majority appears set to destroy the right to abortion, an essential right which protects the health, safety, and freedom of millions of Americans,” Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey said. “There is no other recourse. We must expand the court.”
Democratic Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders called for ending the Senate filibuster in order to ram through the codification of Roe v. Wade into federal law, meaning a ban on states limiting abortions throughout the first six months of pregnancy and strict limits on abortion restrictions throughout the entire duration of pregnancy.
Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.

“Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW,” Sanders wrote. “And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.”
Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also called for the codification of Roe into federal law.
People elected Democrats precisely so we could lead in perilous moments like these- to codify Roe, hold corruption accountable, & have a President who uses his legal authority to break through Congressional gridlock on items from student debt to climate.
It’s high time we do it.

They still would leak. They are too dumb not tooooooooo…………………..
GTFO Nigerian scammer.
How come these scam clowns don’t have to get their post approved?
So the left passes a law through congress. Wouldn’t it be declared unconstitutional all over again? Just sayin’.
Democrats need to remember how well Harry Reid getting rid of the filibuster for federal judges worked out for them. Do the names Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barret ring a bell? With the democrats about to be hit by a tsunami of incoming republicans, now may not be the best time to get rid of the filibuster. The democrats sure do exemplify the “you can’t fix stupid” idiom.
And just like that, no one is talking about the Biden Cartel’s crimes or Traitor Joe’s ruinous policies destroying our nation.
It’s amazing how Important it is for demoncrats/liberals to fight for the right to Murder Innocent Babies. DISGUSTING
“A stolen, illegitimate, and far-right Supreme Court majority appears set to destroy the right to abortion, an essential right which protects the health, safety, and freedom of millions of Americans. There is no other recourse. We must expand the court.” From the lips of Comrade Markey! You should be behind bars you dirty Communist!
I want those who demand that Roe v Wade be codified into law point to the COnstitutional clauses upholding their position. If they cannot do that without twisting language as the Brennan Court did regarding privacy, then they are violating, not upholding the US Constitution.
