If the Republicans REALLY wanted to do something about abortion... why when they had super majorities and the presidency didn't they make getting an abortion costly and inconvenient?

I know they can't overrule the Supreme Court on Roe... but

-—They could tax the heck out of the procedure...

-—They could make any doctor that wants to perform the procedure go through expensive and repetitive training...

-—They could create a national data base of everyone who gets or performs an abortion...

-—They could require a long waiting period...

-—They could require the consent of a judge...

-—They cold require the consent of a parent for minors...

-—They could sick the civil rights division on Planned Parenthood, to investigate why nearly all abortion clinics are built in minority neighborhoods...

There was a MILLION things the Republicans COULD of done, but didn't when they had total power. I can only assume they found it more beneficial to them to not change the status quo.

You got that right man...it’s a fire up the base issue and all politicians care about is playing the game instead of doing what is right. I honestly think the only way to REALLY stop abortion is going to be through the Supremes...the Pubbies had the whole govt this past decade and did nothing like you said. Disgusting.
