PeteMoss gave the game away in his post. To get a super majority, the Dems have to run pro-life candidates. So even electing those candidates doesn't guarantee abortion protection, hence why "just vote harder" makes zero sense mathematically on this particular issue.
And that's if you believe the Dems truly want to protect abortion. I would wager that certain segments of the party don't want these issues settled because cultural wedge issues are the only things that fundamentally differentiate them from Republicans.
