OP you not really correct. The cloture requirement is that 60 have to vote to stop debate. Bills pass with a simple majority.
Why we in the US haven’t legalized abortion is because we are stoooopid.

Most Americans support legal abortion, and there is no federal law against it. Abortion is legal in the united states in most of the places where people live. The reason we don’t have a federal enshrined right to abortion is because we have significant problems in election districting, voting systems, party legal structures, and campaign financing. Also because both parties like the issue staying in limbo as a useful political chess piece.
