In this particular case, it is difficult to argue that conservatives are the ones relying on antidemocratic means to secure their political goals.

At what level should the fundamental rights of a woman be decided?  Perhaps it should go down to the county level, or even the city level?

A constitution that allows the right to privacy, but that doesn't include the right to private medical choices about their own body?  That is B.S. .  The "originalists" on the court truly believe that if an idea wasn't part of the zeitgeist at the moment that the constitution was written, then it obviously wasn't meant to be a right.

The Religious Right hates "rights".  I have had discussions with conservative religious friends, and they literally believe that there can be no rights but what the majority allows.  They believe legislature must have supremacy over courts.

That may be more a marriage of convenience than anything. Conservatives in liberal states have had no reluctance in turning to the courts for relief. It is only Republican control of the majority of state legislatures in whole or in part that shifts their focus from the courts to the states.
