Each time we didn't win an election is the reason Roe was overturned.
Reagan winning was a step toward overturning Roe.
GHW Bush winning was a step toward overturning Roe.
Bush 43 winning was a step toward overturning Roe.
Trump winning was a step toward overturning Roe.
Each time we didn't elect enough pro-choice Democrats to Congress was a step toward overturning Roe.
Each time we lost a seat in either chamber of Congress was a step toward overturning Roe.
We didn't win using the rules of the system we have.
We didn't vote; we didn't turn out; we didn't do what we needed to do in critical elections over the last 50 years because each election counted.
Each time lost was a step toward overturning Roe.
