Because this one involves an activity that some believe to be murder (but I am
not one of them so long as it is done early enough).

Because this is one that used to be presumed to be illegal, then wasn't,
and now is in some places and not in others.

They campaigned on it because the Democrats were.  I can remember when it
was ok for a Republican candidate to have more neutral stance.  The
Democrats kept playing with the issue (while doing nothing about it!) until
the conservative Christians swayed enough Republicans to act on it.

There should have been a choice for the Democrats to keep their promises
and do something permanent about it under Clinton, and again during
the Obama years, when they had the numbers.  Their first chance was during
the Carter administration, where it would have made sense to use the recent
Supreme Court ruling as a opening to do so.  They did nothing so, yes, it is
an issue now.

Well, maybe... but as you said....

Which Kamala and her D friends may not do if their promises are as fake as
their predecessors.

If it had been codified before, and passed Constitutional muster, there
would be nothing for the GOP to have overturned.  We are here because
Democrats, when given the chance, did nothing despite warning us for
*years* that the GOP was going to come after women's rights.

I guess they cried wolf often enough, the wolf finally showed up and took
them up on it.
