Have democrats largely given up on protecting a woman's right to choose?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

240. The abortion battle has largely shifted to the courts and the states

and Democrats are primarily fighting a tough and often losing battle in most states due to Republican-dominated legislatures cranking out new restrictions by the shovelful and sending them to sympathetic Republican governors for their enthusiastic approval. Lesson: We need to get more Dems elected in the states to promote more abortion rights protections or at least hold the line against more abortion restrictions. I would add too that a lot of people seem easily misled into supporting abortion restrictions by being led to believe that anti-choice politicians have sincere motives about the restrictions that they're pushing and/or that some restrictions seem "common-sense" to some people without really looking at the effects or implications. Talking about making doctors have admitting privileges seems, on its face, to be "reasonable" until you consider the fact that it's often hard for them to get them from religious-owned hospitals hostile to abortion in the first place. Plus, a lot of anti-choicers are able to always make some people just feel all "gooey" about fetuses that they forget about the women carrying the fetus and the effect that carrying through with their pregnancy might have on them and/or that fetus. I don't know that Democrats have given up on it so much as the Republicans being a little more successful legislatively and judicially in getting their anti-choice agenda enacted. Republicans have essentially figured out a way to restrict abortion nearly out of existence in some areas without destroying Roe V. Wade entirely, which would, contrary to logic, actually be a disaster for them. I would like to see some attempts in the future of getting Roe V. Wade codified into federal law or some kind of national "Freedom of Choice Act" enacted.
