At the most basic level, its because they don't a filibuster proof number of votes for it. Additionally, any attempt to regulate abortion at the federal level may be struck down in the supreme court, as the ruling suggests abortion rights are a state level decision.
- giantg2 4y agoI thought the ruling suggested that it just return to the legislative branch, not specifically the states. I have a hard time seeing how they can regulate stuff like the affordable care act and everything else but not this. At the very least they could put a modest tax on it and then use that tax for medical related grants. BTW that is filibuster proof if using their remaining budget reconciliation passage for this (a hack, but it seems hacks are how everything gets done).
