    Or maybe Obama could have kept his campaign promise that codifying Roe vs. Wade in law was his first order of business.

    I don’t disagree that Democrats should have done this, but I doubt any Senate during his presidency would have passed it. The Democratic super majority lasted only a few months and he used that to pass the ACA. I don’t think it would have passed if it had codified Roe.

      Right, he spent his political capital on… *checks notes… Romneycare.

      While it has helped out many who are destitute, it has still resulted in many, many people struggling with their health insurance, paying monthly bills that are so high and deductibles so high that they literally can’t afford to use their healthcare.

      He also promised a public option but I guess forgot about that too, when push came to shove.
