Back then, most people didn’t consider it an urgent issue because most people considered it settled law and didn’t really believe it would be overturned. Most people didn’t really consider that the Supreme Court would be compromised to the degree it has.
That perception has changed dramatically, and it’s proven to be a winning issue for Dems. As the next voting cycle ramps up, it will likely be a big campaign point. In order to have any chance at all, though, Dems must gain a solid majority in Congress.
When exactly was there a pro-choice majority in Congress? It wasn’t all that long ago that abortion wasn’t as polarizing in its partisanship, and so there were quite a lot of anti-abortion Democrats from the south, just as there were a handful of pro-choice Republicans.
If you’re referring to the time when Obamacare was passed, several of those Democrat Senators were anti-abortion.
Vote Blue 2024
I agree but the dems had the numbers to pass abortion into law half a dozen times since the roe v wade decision but have never done it.
What are the odds they will do it this time?
Are they even campaigning that they will?
The odds are pretty high, actually.

What are the odds and what bet are you willing to accept?
That Dems will make abortion a focus for the 2024 cycle? At least 90% imo. I’m too poor to bet, but you can publicly shame me if I’m wrong.
Unless something like WW3 eclipses it between now and then, it would be ludicrous to leave abortion on the table, especially after recent performance with respect to that issue in various states.

Are the dems not pro-choice? They have had the majority in both houses in these congresses since roe v wade.
