This bill was not the legislative version of Roe, but an expansion. This is, imho, just unexplicable timing for trying a progressive step, almost as if they want to guarantee failure.
Why not just put the law forward Manchin and those two republicans stated they'd agree to?
There likely isn't such a law to put forth. What I do want to know, and I have heard the claim in multiple places, is was this bill a codification of Roe, or was it an expansion of Roe? If it's the latter then shame on the Dems for lying to everyone. It would also be the likely reason you got a no from Manchin.
