The SCOTUS let the horse out of the barn.

Enact a federal law.

I think there's a lot of confusion about Roe and that is because Roe was nothing more than a federal court decision (NOT a "law" ) that threw out STATE LAWS banning abortion. To emphasize - it was never a federal law, but the decision put restrictions on states passing bans, nationally.

This is why you hear the term "codify Roe" mentioned.

Now should such be enacted, there would of course be lawsuits from the loons claiming it is "unconstitutional" but that is why whatever is crafted, needs to be Constitutionally-sound. The current bill that had actually passed the House in 2021 but died in the Senate (due to cloture) was this -

H.R.3755 - Women's Health Protection Act of 2021

It's been brought up several times during this current Congress and obviously now ignored by the House (where the Senate's version is also dead, again thanks to cloture (a/k/a that 60 vote threshold to advance a bill to debate)).

not because I don't know how legislation works.

Of course when the GOP was busy blocking Obama nominees, the-then Majority Leader Harry Reid said enough is enough and was able to push through "the nuclear option" - changing the Rule to remove the 60-vote threshold (cloture) for nominees - but in that case, EXCEPT for putting someone on the Supreme Court, which would still require the 60-votes to advance the nomination to the debate.

But as soon as Turtle took over the Senate, HE pushed through the Rule change to allow a SCOTUS appointment to similarly only need a simple majority, and he managed to shove 3 unqualified LOONS onto the court.

This is why there is so much rancor about changing the Rule for anything - including legislation. There have been discussions about doing "carve-outs" for allowing routine stuff through without needing 60 votes but then we have the big things (voting rights, reproductive rights, etc) that probably wouldn't meet that test of "routine" (although common sense would dictate that they do) and would never get passed without us having a super-majority.

So that is where things stand.

It is the abuse of "the honor system" by the GOP for their own political gain.

It's TBD whether Dems even control the Senate next year.

although I know that even if we hold all (except obviously WV, and without any unexpected pickups), leading to a tie, and can take the WH, there may be careful carve-outs done at the behest of the President.

In some cases, there was some bipartisan support for big bills and even to possible carve-outs, but not enough to hit the 60.

This is also with the expectation of taking back the House, which the media has either been uncharacteristically silent about or tacitly clinging to the expectation that despite all the changes in Congressional Districts to shift them bluer or at least make them more competitive (with us only needing 5 seats) - that would be irrelevant and the GOP will hold the House.
