As we saw today, GOP'ers came forward to protect same sex marriage... to remove that from their bag of electoral problems.
If they'd vote to codify a Roe-like Law... it would remove that as an issue in future elections. Plus it's the "old congress" so I think it's perfect timing.
I bet we'd get 60+
Remember... look at Kansas. Even people who would NEVER vote for a DEM... don't want abortion to be illegal.

Don't forget... this just cost the GOP'ers MANY seats in Congress.
Secretly they'd LOVE to get rid of this issue.
Voting Rights on the other hand... never.
