Progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) announced Wednesday that there are currently enough votes in the Senate to suspend the filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade and abortion rights if Democrats win control of the House and keep the Senate and White House.

“We will suspend the filibuster. We have the votes for that on Roe v. Wade,” Warren said on ABC’s “The View.”

She said if Democrats control the White House and both chambers of Congress in 2025, “the first vote Democrats will take in the Senate, the first substantive vote, will be to make Roe v. Wade law of the land again in America.”

    Sounds like they were a little busy with the ACA.

    Ive said this fairly recently, it’s disgusting that our only major “achievement” in the last 40 years is a fucking REPUBLICAN markets based “solution.”

    “We” didn’t even get to have what we wanted, we just have a watered down Romneycare program… Even when Republicans aren’t in control they’re in control…
