One protester criticized congressional Democrats for not taking action to codify Roe into law before the Court overturned it.

That was the problem with Roe. It really wouldn’t hold up, Constitutionally, to serious scrutiny. The left was better off letting that particular sleeping dog lie.

Either they are unaware that each state will set its own laws regarding abortion, or they don’t care. Probably both.

The Democrats didn't want to actually go on record. It would make members from marginal districts vulnerable. Anyway I don't think a mere statute would be sufficient. What was needed was a constitutional amendment, and that requires a supermajority in both the House and Senate and then of state legislatures. That wasn't going to happen. Also a constitutional amendment to ban abortion nationwide also won't happen.
