because they voted against lifting the filibuster hold that would have codified it pre Dobbs. Now they will need 60 votes, and there just won't be anywhere close to that from the right.[/quote]

Yes, but it forces all of the GOP Senators to be on the record that the voted against the bill.  With elections in November, this is going to be a costly bill for the GOP to respond to.  In every election since RvW was overturned, there has been record turnout and record voting against abortion restrictions.  If GOP Senators have to go on record vetoing an abortion rights bill, you can bet that every one of them standing for reelection are going to have this become a major election issue for their opponents.  And the record is not good for any candidate that rejects abortion rights.  Even soundly right states like Kansas, Ohio, and Kentucky have voted for abortion rights and candidates that had to oppose abortion rights lost in those elections.  Same in purple Virginia.  In fact, the vote in Virginia essentially sunk Glenn Youngkin's explorations into a potential presidential run.

In general the American public is 58-62% behind abortion rights depending on how conservative the area is.  But solidly pro-choice.  And when candidates have to defend a anti-choice position, they lose.[/quote]
