They didn't have 60 votes to codify Roe vs Wade. They had pro-life Democrats.
If they had all pro-choice candidates - they wouldn't have had 60 Democrats in the senate.
Its the same thing that is literally happening right now where they have a tiny majority but because 2 of them won't vote for some of their policies they can't enact them.
This seems to break people's brains. They either have Joe Manchin and have a small tiebreaker edge in the Senate or they don't have Joe Manchin and the Republicans have 51 seats and control the Senate.
Its the same as back then. They have anti-choice Democrats so they get 60 seats. If they make it so they only accept pro-choice Democrats - they don't have 60 seats. Either way you don't get what you want.
