"SNIP.......

“President Biden vowed that Democrats will codify the right to an abortion into law if two more are elected to the U.S. Senate in the upcoming midterm elections,” CNBC reports.

Said Biden: “If you give me two more senators in the United States Senate, I promise you, I promise you, we’re going to codify Roe and once again make Roe the law of the land.”

Democrats in Congress. The question is, will the courts strike it down? Anything is possible with all of these Trump judges we have. The House has already voted to take away the time length for passing the ERA. Now the Senate needs to pass it as well. It sure would be a big help if we could put it into the Constitution.

Justice matters.
