I have no idea what your point is. Its your only hope of ever having it done unless you think some 3rd party is going to form and win 60 senate seats.
With the US as divided as it is. You need someone to break the fillibuster (which you need more democrats to win to do it or have the Republicans do it when they can control) and then you need more democrats to win senate seats so you can pass it with 53 senators or whatever (knowing a few will vote against it).
If you want abortion codified - that's your only way of making it happen. And even then its probably not going to happen because of how the US system works and how it gives a ton of power to sparsely populated states that don't support abortion.
