It pisses me off because the dnc fundraise off of protecting Roe but then do nothing or worse undermine the women like me they fundraise from. It will be up to women to fight for their rights by pressuring the national democrats and corporations because they will do nothing left to their own devices

I have heard a lot of people say that's why the Dems don't codify it when they have the chance - to keep using it as a hot button issue for fundraising.
Personally, I think that assumes too much organization and intelligence on behalf of the party leadership. My unsubstantiated feeling is that they are venal, lazy cowards that do little but suck up to the rich and powerful in order to bring in donations while they are in office as well as finding comfy sinecures working in "thinktanks" and lobbyist groups bafter they leave office.
After all, that's where the real money is. Look at Obama, how after giving the banks zero interest loans and shielding them from well deserved prosecution, he was able to go on his money tour after he left office, hoovering up $400K/hour speaking fees from those same banks. A comprehensive list of people who went to work for the people and industries they were supposed to be regulating is nearly endless.
