They don't need 60 votes in the senate to ban abortion. Only 51.

Abortion falls under the filibuster. Republicans don't have 50 votes to abolish it now and won't following the election. Reconciliation has to be budget issues. So I assume you know this otherwise your statement would indicate a lack of knowledge of voting. If you think Trump is ditching the filibuster for abortion then that's insane. They would probably need to win all 9 senate races they are spending money on which is impossible they will be lucky to win 3 in which case they couldn't even reform the filibuster much the less get rid of it.
