Could you provide evidence of that claim?

Has the Justice's opinions. Relevant quote:
From day one of Roe vs Wade everyone knew that in order for this to stick it needed to be put in federal legislation. Every time this was brought up, Democrats say that there was no way Roe v. Wade would be overturned. And here we are, Roe v. Wade is overturned. Are the Dems furiously trying to ram through legislation to give back abortion rights? No. They are campaigning that this time will be different while Womens' lives are endangered.
Oh and Roe v. Wade being overturned puts all 14th amendment decisions in jeopardy. Can't wait for these same empty promises to be dug out when the conservatives start targeting interracial marriages next.
Democrats didn't overturn RvW, tho...
No, they didn't codify it into law, but that's not the same action. Nor would it have been super easy to "just" codify it.
I get that but they didn't even try
When was the legislature in Democratic hands, and they were not busy with more important political priorities (which, if you were living in the early Obama 1st term, people wanted a lot out of government than codifying Roe V. Wade).
What is the point of wasting everyone's time if the Republicans control part of the Congress?
