Like I said in the other thread, Manchin really needs to form a bipartisan group to codify basic exceptions like rape or incest. Not all states have these exceptions. There are only a few working months left in this current congress.

Good Lord, at this point no one should be surprised, much less upset.  They're not changing for anything.

It’s easier for certain people to continue throwing tantrums than it is to admit defeat and start trying something else.
There is literally nothing that can be done.
The legislative branch is in complete paralysis because two cheap whores got paid to put it there. He can’t make laws by fiat.

Democrats could put up bills to protect abortions for reasons of the mother’s life, for rape, for incest, up to 12 weeks, up to 16 weeks, etc that would all get unanimous support from Democrats and split the Republicans. I don’t know if you’d get 60 votes, but it’s at least worth trying, and unlike what they are currently doing, it would unite the Democrats rather than encouraging more endless intraparty squabbling.
I posted a whole thread about this.

Democrats could easily pass a bill that allows for exceptions for rape, incest and health of mother. That would get 60 votes. But the twitter activist left won't let them because it would be seen as conceding.

I personally don't think a 12 week would get 10 republican votes but why not try? But Democrats in congress and twitter insist this is the hill to die on. All or nothing.
