Abortion is not under assault from conservatives, it is being used as a wedge issue by democrats. Conservatives blocked Obama's court pick for eight months. Democrats desperately rushed to fast-track ACB in a matter of weeks. They barely had enough time to lay out the rosepetals for her, but they managed. They did this to trigger court decisions that they could use to bludgeon democrat voters over the head with. "See those awful republicans, challenging abortion?? We told you they were awful! Nevermind what we're doing elsewhere!"
