In answer to your question, no, Joe and the Dems don't have the Senate votes to succeed, thanks to the filibuster.Joe Biden Says if Amy Coney Barrett Overturns Roe v. Wade, He'll Make It 'The Law of the Land'
Former Vice President Joe Biden has said he'll move to protect abortion rights if the Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade, the historic decision that protected a woman's right to have an abortion.
The Democratic presidential nominee told an NBC News town hall in Miami on Monday that if the historic ruling on abortion is overturned, his "only response to that is pass legislation making Roe the law of the land. That's what I would do."

The republicans don't want this bill as it passes through the house and senate. It'll be them versus the women of America, something that will hurt them in elections for years to come.
Do you think Joe and the democrats will make Roe vs Wade the law of the land?
The Republicans in the Senate don't care if Roe v. Wade and its buddy Webster v. Reproductive Health Services falls, as they nearly all campaigned on a platform with a pro-life plank.
It will be interesting, however.
It was only a few years after Roe that scientists proved beyond any rational conjecture that a human begins to live at conception, and Webster, subsequent to this scientific proof, changed a fixed number of gestation weeks to viability, viability that includes by artificial means.
As said artificial means have decreased the gestation boundary weeks significantly over the decades to have provided visible proof that even the tiniest of humans is indeed simply that, a human, very much alive, just very young, the denial of reality associated with advocating the pro-choice/pro-abortion movements has been subsiding for a while.
Should a case of relevance be decided by the SCOTUS, and Roe-Webster get overturned, the question is what will each state do, as minus a federal court decision, it seems the onus of next move is on the states.
Still, I'm sure some in the federal will then want to do something. The big question then is "what".
But they couldn't make Roe and Webster the law of the land, as if the SCOTUS just, in effect, removed its judicial activism entry into the law of the land back in the 1970s, the highly unlikely moment a Roe-Webster passes the Senate and is signed by Biden, it will be challenged by the SCOTUS .. who will repeal it by virtue of the same criteria they eliminated it in the decision of the case they had previously just ruled on.
So Sleepy Joe is simply blowin' smoke.
