      Then what do you suppose is the reason why Biden is so reluctant on the issue? And don’t say “because the republicans control congress”, because as I’ve outlined it is very much within Biden’s mandate to act on this issue unilaterally if that’s what he or his party want.

        Why is he reluctant? Because he’s a life-long practicing Catholic.

        He did just say they’d codify Roe in the first 100 days, so. I mean, he has personal reservations due to faith but I don’t think you can say he’s reluctant in a legislative sense.

        Not that it’s relevant anymore.

          You are Charlie Brown, and you are running at a football. The girl holding it, Lucy, has just promised you that she’s going to let you kick it this time.

          edit: to be clear, the girl is the Democratic Party, not Biden personally.

            You don’t think something about Roe is different this election cycle? Nothing at all? No critical change or nothin?

            Or you still think federal legislation is easy and exists in a vacuum of spacetime, and Democrats are twirling their moustaches and muttering Muwahahahaa while they collect all those bleeding heart votes to . . . what, destroy freedom or something?

            I think that’s a pointedly crooked way of looking at it. If you actually believe that, ok, I disagree.
