Claim: Due to U.S. Senate rules, Democrats need "more than a majority ... to codify Roe vs. Wade." (Kelda Roys, 2022-05-08)
Evidence (2022-05-11): Wednesday’s vote was 51 to 49 and well short of the 60 votes necessary under Senate rules. It was largely a reprise of a failed February vote staged by Senate Democratic leaders, but the issue has new resonance after last week’s leak of a draft opinion from Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. suggesting that the high court is poised to overturn Roe and curtail guaranteed nationwide access to abortions. [...] "Elect more pro-choice Democrats if you want to protect a woman’s freedom and right to choose," Schumer said after the vote. "Elect more MAGA Republicans if you want to see a nationwide ban on abortion, if you want to see doctors and women arrested, if you want to see no exceptions for rape or incest." [...] Scores of lawmakers and some abortion rights groups, including NARAL, have pushed for eliminating the filibuster to codify Roe. NARAL President Mini Timmaraju said in a statement that her group "supports passing the Women’s Health Protection Act by any means necessary, including ending the filibuster," while 114 House Democrats signed a letter Monday pushing Schumer to do the same.

Evidence (2023-12-19): Voters cited a number of policy areas that disappointed them, including insufficient moves to address climate change and Biden’s inability to fully cancel student loan debt or codify Roe v. Wade, as the president deals with a closely divided Congress. However, Biden’s response to the Israel-Hamas war may be having the greatest effect on his relationship with this voter bloc. [...] "I mean, he made a lot of really big promises in his campaign and virtually none of them were followed through on," said Austin Kapp, a 25-year-old living in Castle Rock, Colorado. "I mean, he could have codified Roe v. Wade, he could have stood up for the rights of people all over the country, he could have done a lot of things, but he didn’t." While Biden and Democrats pushed to codify the protections of Roe at the federal level, congressional realities made legislative efforts impossible. A vote to codify Roe in May 2022 failed in the Senate, with Biden lashing out at Republicans afterward and urging voters to "elect more pro-choice senators this November, and return a pro-choice majority to the House." Democrats kept the Senate but lost the House in November 2022.
Claim: Due to U.S. Senate rules, Democrats need "more than a majority ... to codify Roe vs. Wade." (Kelda Roys, 2022-05-08)
Evidence (2022-05-12): The US Senate on Wednesday failed to advance legislation that would codify the right to an abortion into federal law, after it was blocked by Republicans. [...] If passed, the bill would have codified Roe v Wade into federal law, ensuring the right of healthcare providers to perform abortions and the right of patients to receive them. But it would also go further, in some cases invalidating state-level restrictions on abortion access enacted after the Roe decision in 1973. [...] The show vote on Wednesday only intensified calls from progressives for Democrats to eliminate the filibuster or carve out an exception for abortion rights. But at this point, there are not 60 votes to codify Roe, and there is not enough Democratic support to eliminate or amend the Senate filibuster.

Claim: Due to U.S. Senate rules, Democrats need "more than a majority ... to codify Roe vs. Wade." (Kelda Roys, 2022-05-08)
Evidence (2024-04-10): Calls from Democrats to "codify Roe" have intensified in recent months, with Roe’s 49th (and potentially last) anniversary last week, several intermediary decisions on the Texas law, and a separate case — Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization — before the Supreme Court concerning a 15-week abortion ban in Mississippi. Last month during oral arguments in that case, a majority of justices indicated that they are willing, at minimum, to weaken the viability standard set by Roe at approximately 24 weeks pregnancy. [...] In 1992, the Supreme Court had affirmed the right to an abortion in the case Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which challenged restrictive Pennsylvania laws. But the ruling also said states had some leeway to add some limits to abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy. So Democrats revived the Freedom of Choice Act — that era’s attempt to codify Roe. When it failed in 1993, Democratic leaders turned their focus to health care legislation. [...] "We are in a total stalemate in Congress and it would take extraordinary leadership by this president and frankly, by the Democrats in the United States Senate, to do anything legislatively to codify Roe," Richards said.

Evidence (2021-12-06): What Would It Mean to Codify Roe v. Wade? [...] Takeaways - Codifying Roe v. Wade would mean passing a law that would affirm a pregnant person’s right to an abortion without undue interference - The most effective way to codify Roe v. Wade would be for Congress to pass a law, such as the Women’s Health Protection Act, that would be binding for all states. This act was passed in the House on September 24, but it is considered unlikely to pass in the Senate - Unless Roe v. Wade is codified, blue states will likely decide to codify Roe, while red states will continue to enact restrictions on abortion rights, like the 2021 Texas Abortion Law [...] Laskowski: Have Democrats proposed codifying Roe v. Wade before and why weren’t they successful?

Evidence (2022-11-03): And folks, look, we heard Republicans say they want to make permanent the Dobbs decision — the Supreme Court’s decision on abortion. [...] Look, the bottom line is this: If Michelle’s opponent wins, the right to choose here in New Mexico is going to go away. And then if Republicans gain control of the Congress and pass a nationwide ban, as the senator from — from South Carolina wants to do, the ban on abortion, I will veto it. It won’t happen. But if we elect more Senate Democrats and keep control of the House, we’re going to be able to codify Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. (Applause.) [...] So, vote! Get out the vote. Vote, vote, vote, vote.
Claim: Due to U.S. Senate rules, Democrats need "more than a majority ... to codify Roe vs. Wade." (Kelda Roys, 2022-05-08)
Evidence (2022-06-30): President Joe Biden said Thursday that he supports changing Senate filibuster rules to pass a bill codifying abortion rights. "I believe we have to codify Roe v. Wade into law, and the way to do that is to make sure that the Congress votes to do that and if the filibuster gets in the way [there] should be … an exception," Biden told reporters during a news conference in Madrid, where he is attending a NATO summit. Senate filibuster rules require that most legislation, including any related to abortion rights, have support from at least 60 senators to move forward. The 100-seat chamber is currently evenly split between the two parties, with Vice President Kamala Harris as the tiebreaker.

Evidence (2024-09-24): As the nominee, Harris had, until now, not said publicly whether she would support bypassing the filibuster rule — which requires 60 votes for passage of most major legislation — to enshrine abortion rights into federal law. [...] What they're saying: "To state the supremely obvious, eliminating the filibuster to codify Roe v Wade also enables a future Congress to ban all abortion nationwide," Sinema wrote on X. "What an absolutely terrible, shortsighted idea." [...] Flashback: Biden, after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, said that he supported changing the Senate's filibuster rules to enable Congress to pass a federal law codifying Roe.

Evidence (2022-08-01): Kaine, Murkowski, Sinema, & Collins Introduce Legislation to Codify Roe v. Wade [...] WASHINGTON, D.C. —Today, U.S. Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), and Susan Collins (R-ME) introduced the Reproductive Freedom For All Act. This legislation would enact in federal law the essential holdings of Roe v. Wade and related cases, protecting abortion rights and contraception access. This would undo the damage of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, and would enshrine in federal law the fundamental right to reproductive freedom. [...] The Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health goes directly against the will of the majority of Americans. According to a recent Pew Research Center poll, more than 60 percent of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases. Overturning Roe has resulted in immediate bans on all abortions in several states, and in the future could potentially call into question other important rights, including the right to access birth control, which was outlined in Griswold v. Connecticut, Eisenstadt v. Baird, and Carey v. Population Services International. That is why the Reproductive Freedom For All Act would not only enact the core holdings of Roe v. Wade but also key subsequent cases: Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey and Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, as well as the holdings of Griswold v. Connecticut, Eisenstadt v. Baird, Carey v. Population Services International.

Evidence (2024-07-24): ABC News Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas did not say the "government tried to kill former President Trump," as shortened social media videos claim. In a report that aired July 24 on "Good Morning America," he used the word "gunman" several times and named the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, whom the Secret Service killed. FBI Director Christopher Wray said the continuing investigation so far has not found that Crooks had any accomplices in the July 13 assassination attempt against Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Evidence (2024-07-16): Donald Trump's shooting might feel 'unprecedented', but attempts to assassinate US presidents are more common than we realise Some may consider the assassination attempt on Donald Trump to be a worrying sign of a new era of unprecedented political violence.

The FBI has not established a motive that explains why Thomas Matthew Crooks fired on Trump. Trump said, "This is the one that weaponized, not me. She weaponized. I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things that they say about me. They talk about democracy, I'm a threat to democracy. They're the threat to democracy."

Evidence (2024-07-15): As investigators analyze what led 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks to try to assassinate former president Donald Trump – and how Crooks was able to fire at the former president at a heavily patrolled event on July 13, 2024, one thing is clear, according to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. [...] Crooks’ attack on Trump wasn’t like the Pulse nightclub mass shooting in 2016 or other mass shooting events that we have seen over the last several years. Crooks was seemingly trying to just kill Trump, and tragically, some of the rounds hit other people. Most of the domestic attacks we see in the U.S. are almost always advanced by a single individual, like Crooks. Going after a former president is the most extreme end of that threat spectrum, but there have been several other attacks against sitting presidents, former presidents or presidential candidates. This goes back to the 1865 assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. In that case, it was also just one person who shot Lincoln.

[...] Routh was arrested and charged with attempting to assassinate Trump, as well as assaulting a federal officer and three other weapons violations. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Evidence (2024-09-30): Ryan Routh pleaded not guilty to federal charges in connection with an alleged attempt to assassinate Donald Trump at the former president's golf club in Florida. [...] The government argued the sole reason Routh was in West Palm Beach on Sept. 15 was "for one reason and one reason only and that was to kill the former President of the United States." On the day of the alleged attempted assassination, Trump was playing golf on the course when a Secret Service agent spotted a gun barrel poking out from the tree line near the sixth green, according to investigators.

Evidence (2024-07-14): An attempt to assassinate Donald Trump is a terrifying moment for the former president — and America [...] Shots were fired. Trump clutched his ear and ducked to the ground. The Secret Service scrambled, while people in the crowd screamed. It was a terrifying moment for the former president, everyone watching on, and for the country as a whole. The United States has a tragic history of political assassinations, and this sort of moment is one that candidates and their families must fear the most. But just four months out from a divisive election, in an America already so polarised, the attempt on Trump's life – and the way it's now handled — could have much broader consequences.

Evidence (2024-07-13): Claims that the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump was staged are baseless [...] Conspiracy theories that the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump was staged flooded the internet almost immediately after a shooting suspect opened fire on Trump as he spoke at a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. [...] The FBI identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the suspect who shot former President Donald Trump. Pennsylvania State Police said the shooter killed one person — whom the state’s governor identified as Corey Comperatore, a former volunteer fire chief and father of two — and critically injured two other people at the rally. Secret Service personnel shot Crooks dead shortly after he opened fire, the agency said. Law enforcement officials recovered an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle from a nearby building’s roof, according to The New York Times.
