Those who have read the draft will know that the express intent of the opinion is to democratize the issue by eliminating its dependence on the opinion of 9 unelected officials and return it to elected legislative bodies. In this particular case, it is difficult to argue that conservatives are the ones relying on antidemocratic means to secure their political goals.

I was speaking more generally about the right abandoning all but power as a goal in politics.  Abortion wasn't an issue with Christians or the right before some evangelical leaders realized that it could function as a wedge issue to drive voters to conservatism.  It is that history which led us to here.  Regarding whether Roe vs. Wade was anti-democratic or not requires begging the question of whether outlawing abortion in the first two trimesters is unconstitutional.  You don't get to assume that as a given.  Either it is or it isn't.  It is not anti-democratic to abide by the method of resolving such questions enshrined in the constitution without arguing that the constitution itself is anti-democratic, which it appears that you are doing.  The federal government reserves certain powers to itself, including determining whether something is constitutional or not.  All other powers are reserved to the states.  So, no, Roe v. Wade wasn't anti-democratic.  Quite the opposite.

Nice rhetoric, though.
Indeed the right doesn't give a damn about life it's about control . If they cared about life then they would never support something that will lead to more death.

 “No matter what men think, abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?”
