Biden: We All Have the Right to Abort "A Child," You Know

As Twitchy headlined this -- parodying Biden's mumbling dementia apologies after he's gone off the scripts written for him by his handlers and nurses -- "I might have said too much."

Brandon also announced he wasn't comfortable leaving these "rights" -- the decision finds abortion not to be a right, Brandon -- to "the whims of the public at this moment."

He's also referencing the other "rights" discovered along with Roe, chiefly about sex and... you know, gay marriage.

Meanwhile...

Bernie Sanders demanded that Roe v. Wade be encoded into federal law -- based on what federal power, I wonder? -- and now Charles Schumer announces that there will be a vote on just that:

Sanders demanded that the filibuster be nuked to accomplish this.

But three key Senators have already said "No" on nuking the filibuster.

Again.

Collins is a no:

Jake Sherman @JakeSherman

NEW -- "Senator Collins' position on the filibuster is unchanged," from spox
@annieclark25

Sinema re-states her support for the filibuster on principle, as does Manchin:

Manu Raju @mkraju

Manchin: "The filibuster is a protection of democracy."

Sinema says: "Protections in the Senate safeguarding against the erosion of women's access to health care have been used half-a-dozen times in the past ten years, and are more important now than ever"

As many people are noting: Oh, so we're talking about women's health again, huh? Not "birthing people"?

Schumer tried putting up Roe for a vote as a law in February and failed to even get 50 votes.

@McCormackJohn

Speaking to press on Capitol steps, Sen. Blumenthal calls for another vote on the Women's Health Protection Act, which would establish a national right to abortion through all nine months of pregnancy.

If abortion is not a right guaranteed by the Constitution through the 14th Amendment, as this decision said, what would be the federal authority to make it a "right" for the citizens of the state, taking away the states' rights to decide their own abortion policy?

Do we even bother asking questions like that any longer? Is it just Will to Power Calvinball for the left now?

Answer: Yes.

Meanwhile: what about this idiot?

GOP Sen Lisa Murkowski: It Rocks My Confidence In SCOTUS, If Roe V Wade Is Overturned

Still, without Sinema and Machin, Schumer would only have 49.
