Our abortion rights were legalized through a non-democratic process, the judicial system - see the danger with non-democratic governments yet?

Red herring.
Frankly, it was the USA making a turn towards being more democratic that led to this kind of judicial tyranny, since the Seventeenth Amendment altered the accession of Senators (who provide advice and consent for the appointment of Supreme Court justices) to be elected democratically by popular vote rather than represent the respective state governments by appointment thereby.
In Ireland, the amendment process requires popular referendum, JFTR. Nothing can be more purely democratic.
