You don't need 60 votes. The SCOTUS justices who overturned Roe were nominated and then approved by the Senate with a simple majority. There is a procedure for passing bills with a simple majority. The 3/5 filibuster rule is not in the Constitution and they can bypass it anytime they want. They just didn't want to do it, because they wanted to rally naive voters with an issue that they knew would get their base to the polls.

They don't actually care about a woman's right to choose, they only care about getting reelected.

They could have easily passed a law making abortion legal, but they didn't. That's a fact.
