The dems just have a slight majority in the Senate. Budget Reconcillation bills can be passed with a 51-50 vote (The V.P. breaks the 50-50 tie). To codify Roe vs Wade you need 60 Senators. The dems would have to find 10 republicans to get to 60.
The courts did not really stand up for the rights of the unborn, they just sent the issue back to each state. So, in the state of Mississippi a woman can get abortion up to 15 weeks.

You are right, the court didn't "stand up for the rights of the unborn" because that isn't their mandate. Their mandate is to consider the words of the Constitution and if they don't see abortion, then it goes to the States, perhaps the simplest thing to understand about the Constitution and yet so many can't understand it.
"THE COURT OVERTURNED DEMOCRACY" they shout! What is Democracy I asked? The right of the people to vote. No, just kidding, they don't say that, how can they say what is factual and true when it doesn't accomplish what they want.
