It was a political move to not codify it into law. And if they gave a shit it would have been a bad move not to do so. Now they need to either put the issue aside or run on pro abortion rights. Neither is politically beneficial to them. Dems continue to be their own worst enemy.
The lib argument would be that if we can get a dem supermajority, they could codify it into law.
This assumes that 60 democratic senators would vote to guarantee abortion as a right and that the Supreme Court would not overturn the law.
It’s true that they could have done this in 2008, but maybe Roe actually being overturned would make them feel it’s necessary now.
So lots of wishful thinking essentially.
