If the Repugs take back Congress ... there'll be no stopping them.

They'll figure if overturning Roe doesn't motivate enough Dems to vote, why they'll put up with whatever we decide to do.

Oh, and elections.

10. It won't be that easy as they'll have to overcome Biden's vetoes.

That will take a higher percentage of reps and senator votes...and with a 50/50 Senate, or near 50/50, it won't be easy to override a presidential veto.
