Almost every one of your assumptions are wrong and necessarily your conclusions are wrong, too. This last one is a posterchild summary of your errors: "Was the reversal of Roe v Wade an anti-abortion decision or another element of a broader anti-democracy campaign? Time will tell, but probably both. In any event, if you think that only women’s rights were put at risk, you would be ignoring the despotic implications of minority rule."
Abortion is the termination of a human life. Dobbs was not an "anti-abortion decision", it was, instead, an affirmation of the right to life. Your assertion that only women's rights were put at risk is monstrous. You can avert your eyes for only so long. Thank God Trump appointed justices who affirm the right the life.
What drew me to your post was the assertion that a tyranny of the minority is a serious risk. That is correct in my view.
One such minority are those who claim sex is not a biological fact, that it is instead a social construction. A loud and determined minority have captured many of our institutions and now advance the theory that one's sex is not binary. That nonsense must be stopped.
