In reply to the discussion: Sen. Bernie Sanders is calling for the end of the filibuster to codify abortion rights: [View all]

(6,115 posts)10. This has already been tried and it already failed. Too many times.
Manchin and Sinema couldn't even end the filibuster to protect voting rights and because of that, they themselves may lose their seats. Republican legislatures now have the ability to override voters. They could have protected our votes but they chose to protect the filibuster instead.
If they couldn't modify the filibuster for democracy, there's no way they're doing it for women.
