Is even keeping abortion legal too left for them?

I spose this could be the grim side effect of keeping manchin around — he gets to sink WHATEVER, and everyone else has a direct incentive to make sure he stays in place so he can keep killing things so they don’t have to come out against the stuff they want to pretend they want passed.

Manchin isn’t killing this bill - this bill is DOA already. I think you’re right about it being a side effect, though.
