Lisa Murkowski believes there is a path to codifying abortion protections

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski said Thursday there is still a "long ways to go" to finding a bipartisan agreement on codifying abortion rights previously protected under Roe v. Wade. She added that she is "not in the camp that says it cannot be done." 

"Codification of Roe v. Wade is not going to happen unless there is a bipartisan approach to it. It is as simple as that," the Alaskan senator told CBS News' John Dickerson in an interview. 

Murkowski said that, months ago, she met with Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Kyrsten Sinema, D-Arizona, and Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, to determine whether "there is a path forward."
