Democrats will try to preserve/create them. This has been seen over and over again. But to actually do this, they’ll need a Democratic majority in all three seats of power.
They’re fighting against Republicans who are actively doing everything they can to remove rights.
And before someone jumps in with the tired ass " Obama had all three and didn’t codify Roe v Wade" argument, he was blocked by the more conservative members of his own party. Dems need not only a super majority, they need a super majority that can’t be hampered by a couple of holdouts.
Or they could kill the filibuster which only takes a simple majority. Where were the cries from liberals to primary the pro life Dems that wouldn’t back the Freedom of Choice act? They were nowhere to be seen.
Manchin, Sinema, and every member of the GOP specifically blocked a carve out for abortion and voting rights legislation regarding the fillibuster. You can’t primary Manchin from the left, you won’t win. Sinema never planned on continuing her Senate career. She just wanted to cash out. Neither are going to be running as Democrats anytime soon.
The role of Democrats is not to fight republicans but to keep actual leftists from gaining traction or power that threatens the existence of the duopoly.

Me. I was crying then. So much so that they gave me pills.
